Abstract :

Synthetic Biology is an emerging engineering field based on principals of molecular biology, bio-informatics and computer science to design new biochemical pathways and novel characteristics of living creatures based on DNA. With its rapid growth rate and wider application trend, it may bring un-predicable influence to a number of established orders of social structures, including the legal system of forensic toxicology. In this brief talk, the speaker will summarize the current achievement of synthetic biology, its potential in near future, and offer analysis on its benefits on personalized medicine and possible risk on forensic toxicology.
