What consumers may not realize, however, is that many of these new foods are made using synthetic biology, an emerging science that applies principles of genetic engineering to create life forms from scratch.
You will employ elements of the developing field of synthetic biology to bring about significant changes and major innovations that address the challenges of rapidly changing human demographics, resource shortages, energy economy transition and the concomitant growth in demand for more and healthier food, sustainable fuel cycles.
UK science minister David Willetts has followed this up with a research focus on‘Eight Great Technologies' that are seen as key areas for future development: big data, space, robotics and autonomous systems, synthetic biology, regenerative medicine, agri-science, advanced materials and energy.
Without addressing these fundamental concerns, the new technology mechanism will merely be a global marketing arm to increase the profit of transnational corporations by selling dangerous technologies to countries of the South, such as nanotechnology, synthetic biology or geoengineering technologies.
Second long-term trend: we have been living and are living through the digital age-- we're starting to live through the age of the genome and biology and CRISPR and synthetic biology-- and all of that is going to merge into the age of the brain.
The competition no longer comes from within an industry; it comes from elsewhere, and not having domain experts in fields such as synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and robotics, most companies have no idea how to respond to these new threats.
Further research is necessary to fully explore the potential applications of merging of synthetic biology and cybernetics but the authors hope that in the future devices based on this design could allow patients with locked-in syndrome to self-administer pain-relieving drugs.
Electrically operated valve using ultra-thin sheet glass inside an all-glass microchip| RIKEN Inventors Yo Tanaka(Laboratory for Integrated Biodevice) and Hiroki Ueda(Laboratory for Synthetic Biology) Background Microchips created by machining channels with a width and depth of 1 mm or less on a glass substrate measuring several centimeters square and integrating chemical and biochemical systems are expected to play an important role as compact, high-speed, next-generation devices for next-generation medical diagnosis and other applications.
They include the proliferation of commercial nanotechnology applications to food system inputs, pesticides, processing and packaging; the rapid commercial development of synthetic biology, an extreme form of genetic engineering which employs industrial techniques to produce materials formerly sourced from plant products; and new varieties of engineered seeds, like the"Terminator" seed which is engineered for sterility to force farmers to buy them for every planting to enforce total dependence on corporate inputs.
