Metabolic engineering Engineer a whole pathway? Large scale production? Biosynthesis: - Fuel - Nutraceuticals What else?!?!!

Synthetic biology – “creating” life… “Build” a genome from scratch? What is “minimal” genome?
…and beyond! Protein + metabolic engineering Any compound, any time! “Download” vaccine to personal biofactory?!
