Это единственная книга, которая фокусируется на промышленных и экологических применениях синтетической биологии, охватывая 17 наиболее перспективных областей использования в сферах биотоплива, биоремедиации и биоматериалов. Вклад написан экспертами из академических кругов, некоммерческих организаций и промышленности, которые не только излагают научные основы, но и рассматривают экономическое, экологическое и этическое воздействие новых технологий. Это делает книгу не только подходящим дополнительным материалом для студентов, но и идеальным спутником для лиц, определяющих политику, и финансирующих организаций, если они хотят принимать обоснованные решения о синтетической биологии. В значительной степени координируется Маркусом Шмидтом, советником по вопросам политики и единственным европейцем, дававшим показания перед биоэтической комиссией администрации Обамы.
This book is the only one that focuses on industrial andenvironmental applications of Synthetic Biology, covering 10 of themost promising topics in biofuel production, bio-remediation andbiomaterials use among others. Contributions are made byexperts from both research and industry. They cover the scientificbasics as well as giving a economic, environmental, and ethical analysis.This makes this a useful addition for university students aswell as a valuable resource for policy-makers and funderswho may require information to make an informed decision withregard to Synthetic Biology. Markus Schmidt (a policy advisor)coordinates most of the coverage, and he is Europe's onlyvoice on record before the U. S. Office of Science and Technology PolicyBioethics Committee.
This book focuses on the industrial and environmental application of synthetic biology and covers the most promising applications across the fields of biofuels, bioremedation and biomaterials while providing detailed analysis of undergraduate training, financing and public participation in synthetic biology research and development. The writings in the book are provided by experts from the academia, the non-governmental organizations, and investors taking emphasis on detailing not only scientific fundamentals but also economic, environment, and ethical impacts that accrue using new techniques. These features make the book suitable not just for student use but likewise an indispensable resource for planners and grants agencies trying to be informed in regard to synthetic biology. Coordinated largely by Markus Shmidt, who is a formal advisor and was among the exclusively European witnesses before the bioethical criteria of the Obama office, this book is more than merely an informative reference guide; it is an insightful eye-opener on what concerns synthetic biology contain, prepare, and envisions industry and society.

Описание книги от Markus Schmidt
This is the only book to focus on industrial and environmental applications of synthetic biology, covering 17 of the most promising uses in the areas of biofuel, bioremediation and biomaterials. The contributions are written by experts from academia, non-profit organizations and industry, outlining not only the scientific basics but also the economic, environmental and ethical impact of the new technologies. This makes it not only suitable as supplementary material for students but also the perfect companion for policy makers and funding agencies, if they are to make informed decisions about synthetic biology. Largely coordinated by Markus Schmidt, a policy adviser, and the only European to testify in front of the bioethics commission of the Obama administration.
