Research

Synthetic biology is about designing and building new biological components (parts to cells), either by modifying existing components or by creating entirely new ones. By adopting an engineering approach, the aim is move from construction to function, in a predictable way.

The global synthetic biology market is experiencing rapid growth, with estimates suggesting it will expand from approximately $13.4 billion in 2022 to over $116 billion by 2032.

This growth is driven by advancements in DNA sequencing, gene editing, automation, and artificial intelligence, enabling the development of innovative applications in sectors like healthcare, agriculture, energy, and biomanufacturing.

Using the synthetic biology approach, here are some of the key applications that CSBB is driving:

Personalised immunotherapy, Engineered probiotics, Lab-grown organoids

Carbon sequestration, microbial bioreactors, upcycling waste materials

Fragrances, Food additives, Fabric dyes, Cosmetics 

Biopharma, Fragrances, Flavours, Chemicals, Enzymes
