Design Methodologies and the Limits of the Engineering-Dominated Conception of Synthetic Biology.

Acta biotheoretica - 1 Mar 2019

Ijäs Tero

Abstract excerpt

Synthetic biology is described as a new field of biotechnology that models itself on engineering sciences. However, this view of synthetic biology as an engineering field has received criticism, and both biologists and philosophers have argued for a more nuanced and heterogeneous understanding of the field. This paper elaborates the heterogeneity of synthetic biology by clarifying the role of design and...
