Q&A - Synthetic Life: Could We? Should We?
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 9 Δεκ 2015
How
far could we go with synthetic life? How far should we go? The panel of
experts answer questions from the audience after their debate.

Synthetic
biology is a new, intriguing technology that could have a huge impact
on humans and our environment. Writer and broadcaster Adam Rutherford
chairs a panel of experts, including Louise Horsfall, Paul Freemont,
Susan Molyneux-Hodgson and Robert Edwards.
They outline the
process of designing and building new life forms and discuss the ethical
challenges we will face. What impact could synthetic biology have on
everyday life, and how far could we, and should we, take this
revolutionary science?
Robert Edwards is Head of the School of
Agriculture, Food & Development at Newcastle University. His
interests are focussed on the biotransformation of synthetic compounds
and natural products in plants and the manipulation of these pathways
for applications in crop protection and biorefining using technologies
including synthetic biology.
Paul Freemont is Co-director of
Centre for Synthetic Biology and Innovation at Imperial College London.
The Centre aims to develop foundational technologies to enable synthetic
biology research in application areas like biosensors, biosynthesis,
bioprocessing and metabolic and genome engineering and enable the
translation of new synthetic biology technologies into industry.
Louise
Horsfall is a Lecturer in Biotechnology at the University of Edinburgh.
She is interested in multidisciplinary challenges involving
Biotechnology, Synthetic Biology, Novel Enzymes and Protein Engineering.
She is currently the elected co-chair of the Bioengineering and
Bioprocessing Section of the European Federation of Biotechnology and a
member of the EPSRC's Early Career Forum in Manufacturing Research.
Susan
Molyneux-Hodgson is Director of Research, Department of Sociological
Studies, University of Sheffield. Susan co-founded and is currently
Director of SATIS (Science and Technology in Society) research group in
Sheffield. Her research is focused on three substantive areas: the
sociology of scientific communities; science and society relations, and;
interdisciplinary collaboration.
This event was organised in
partnership with the Royal Society of Biology and the Biochemical
Society as part of Biology Week 2015.
