Since its introduction 20 years ago, the field of synthetic biology has shown remarkable progress. For example, it has generated increasingly sophisticated synthetic DNA and RNA solutions, supporting increasingly ambitious research projects. And now it is beginning to enable applications in drug discovery.

Synthetic biology follows an iterative three-part cycle: design, build, and test. It has enabled the systematic interrogation of the genome to identify key molecules and their corresponding functions. It has also started to drive innovations in a range of applications. These applications include the engineering of proteins for agricultural products, the development of therapeutic antibodies, and the production of next-generation adoptive cell therapies.
