Abstract
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that involves the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems or the redesign of existing biological systems. This article explores the principles of synthetic biology, its applications in medicine, energy, and environmental sustainability, and the ethical challenges it poses. Key topics include the engineering of microorganisms for biofuel production, the development of synthetic DNA, and the potential for creating new forms of life. The article also addresses the implications of synthetic biology in biotechnology and healthcare, highlighting both its promise and its risks.
