Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features.

The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method

Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.

The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method

The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Biodiversity and Human Values

Biodiversity and Human Values

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Area of Science:

Science and Technology Policy
Radiological Sciences

Background:

UK science and technology research budget maintained at a fixed cash level.
Significant government funding cuts in other UK sectors contrast with rising investment in East Asian countries like China.
The UK faces challenges in translating basic research into manufactured products.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the impact of UK science and technology investment levels and educational strategies.
To propose suggestions for improving the translation of research into products.
To specifically address these issues within the context of radiological sciences.

Main Methods:

Discussion based on a meeting held at Chatham House, London, in November 2010.
Analysis of the UK's R&D budget in comparison to international trends.
Review of educational system aspects impacting scientific output.
Consideration of the research-to-product pipeline.

Main Results:

UK R&D funding is static while competitors increase investment.
Educational reforms are necessary to sustain scientific leadership.
A persistent issue exists in commercializing basic research discoveries.
The radiological sciences are highlighted as a specific area for improvement.

Conclusions:

Urgent need for strategic changes in UK science and technology policy.
Educational system reform is vital for future scientific competitiveness.
Improving the commercialization of research is essential for economic growth and scientific impact.
Targeted strategies are required, particularly in specialized fields like radiological sciences.
