Collective Brainstorming

Wednesday Break - ideas around synthetic biology

Now we need your input! We will make some short polls regarding...

... What are the greatest scientific bottlenecks in bottom-up synthetic biology?

... What are the technological challenges?

... What do you think will be more important outcome of bottom-up synthetic biology - the insight into the principle mechanisms of life or potential applications?

... Is bottom-up synthetic biology a new and proper scientific discipline or just a new label to molecular biology/genetic engineering/biotechnology?

... How long will it take to build a truly functional artificial cell?

If you also have an interesting questions which you would like to examine with a poll among our participants, then please let me know: info@maxsynbio.mpg.de
