Synthetic Biology Standardization

This lecture covers the importance of standardization in synthetic biology, focusing on methodologies for part synthesis, characterization, host cells, and nomenclature. It discusses the transition from basic parts to complex systems, including genetic circuits and logic building blocks. The lecture also explores the challenges of signal matching for part composition and the integration of data and systems. Furthermore, it delves into the design of biological circuits, the development of next-generation synthetic biology chassis, and the advancements in metabolic engineering. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the primary and secondary metabolite pathways, central metabolic pathways in cancer, and the transition from synthetic biology to metabolic engineering.
