Synthetic Biology in Cancer Treatment

Humans have always suffered from terrible diseases. It was not until the rise of enlightened thought throughout the 19th century that mankind began to effectively combat illness. Since then, advances in biological and medical sciences have defeated virtually incurable and formerly fatal diseases. However, despite our successes, there is a group of age-related cellular pathologies …

Application of Synthetic Biology in Personalized Medicine

Thinking about the future is always inspiring. The reason is simple: the history of past events cannot be changed, as they are written; the future, on the other hand, is neither constrained nor delimited by our understanding. Hence, many imaginative thinkers of past centuries dreamed of “impossible things” such as flying cars or holograms. Interestingly …
