Title: Bio-fab Technologies
Flexible, reliable fabrication technology along with standardized methods and design libraries gave rise to the semiconductor chip “fab” system. It enabled engineers to create extraordinarily complex and powerful electronic devices with broad applications.
A fab approach could similarly empower biological engineers to conceive and build sophisticated devices from biological parts.
Bio fab technologies and techniques are already being developed and used. Addressing safety issues and encouraging biologists to think more like engineers are ongoing efforts.
