Chemical Synthetic Biology

现代基因工程师的目标是建立生命系统，以便建立技术来生产几乎所有可以想象到的、具有医学或工业意义的物质。拟议的CRCTier 1研究化学合成生物学背后的长期目标是创造高度模块化的生物灵感材料，用于学术和(生物)工业目的。布迪萨教授将通过以下途径实现这些目标：(I)开发基于蛋白质的天然聚合物材料，具有革命性的骨手术和伤口愈合的潜力；(Ii)设计导电碳纳米管的生物替代品，用于储能、滤水器、生物电子设备等。

Modern genetic engineers aim at building living systems in order to establish technologies to produce virtually every imaginable medically or industrially interesting substance. The long-term objective behind the proposed CRC Tier 1 Research in Chemical Synthetic Biology is to create highly modular bio-inspired materials useful for both academia and (bio)industrial purposes. Prof Budisa will achieve these objectives by (i) developing protein-based natural polymer materials with the potential to revolutionize bone surgery and wound healing; (ii) engineering biological alternatives to conductive carbon nanotubes for use in energy storage, water filters, bio-electronic devices and more.
