Synthetic Biology in Cancer Treatment

Leave a Comment / Healthcare, Synthetic Biology / By

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

Leave a Comment / Healthcare, Synthetic Biology / By

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 …

Synthetic Biology and AI to Remove Food Allergy

Leave a Comment / AI, Food & Nutrition, Synthetic Biology / By

Allergies are increasingly common pathologies in human society. In the past, it was believed that they were due to an exaggerated reaction of the immune system to a specific antigen or a hypersensitive reaction. Today we know that it is actually the harmlessness of the external agent that leads to pathogenesis, paradoxically. In fact, there …

Electrical Energy Storage using Synthetic Biology – Is there Potential?

Leave a Comment / Energy Storage, Renewable Energy, Synthetic Biology / By

With the rise of renewable energy, the world faces a new problem to solve. During the years of the fossil fuel monopoly, energy storage was not a problem, since nature itself was responsible for providing these deposits. In contrast, the strategy to be followed with most renewable energies is different: the aim is to capture …
