This note illustrates how knowledge and
principles of biology, biochemistry, and engineering are integrated to create
new products for societal benefit. It uses a case study format to examine
recently developed products of pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries: how
a product evolves from initial idea, through patents, testing, evaluation,
production, and marketing.
This note is an introduction to the engineering of synthetic
biological systems. Topics covered includes: components and control of
prokaryotic and eukaryotic behavior, DNA synthesis, standards, and abstraction
in biological engineering, issues of human practice, including biological
safety; security; ownership, sharing, and innovation; and ethics. Enrollment
preference is given to freshmen.
