Regulation of synthetic biology : bioBricks, biopunks and bioentrepreneurs /
This book explores the interplay between regulation and emerging technologies in the context of synthetic biology, a developing field that promises great benefits, and has already yielded fuels and medicines made with designer micro-organisms. For all its promise, however, it also poses various risk...
