We think that being in a laboratory, designing and developing a project in the biology synthetic field turns out to be an open-minded experience due to the contact with others areas besides Biology, such as Physics and Math. It enables students to break boundaries between areas and gather new concepts of different domains in science.

Synthetic Biology is an emerging field that aims to modify organisms for performing new tasks by either building new biological parts, devices and systems or by re-designing an already existing system. The goal is to manipulate living organism for useful purpose like sustainable production of fuels and pharmaceuticals, as well as, for helping on environmental problems.
