About this Research Topic
Biomanufacturing is the use of biological systems, such as microorganisms, animal cells, or plant cells, to produce valuable products such as vaccines, therapeutic proteins, biofuels, and enzymes. It involves the manipulation and engineering of living organisms to produce specific compounds or materials, using advanced biotechnology techniques. Biomanufacturing has the potential to provide more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional manufacturing methods, as it can use renewable resources and reduce waste and energy consumption. Biomanufacturing in the field of systems microbiology is rapidly expanding, with new technologies and applications emerging all the time and the industrial scale up needed to match with manufacturing and commercial processes requires time and investment for success. If completed correctly though, it has significant implications for medicine, energy, agriculture, and many other industries.
Technion-Israel 2022 designed a synthetic circuit to decrease the production of decursin and enable therapeutic applications to be further explored. The team was among the top 10 finalists and was awarded the best biomanufacturing project award in 2022. WWU_Muenster 2022 established an adaptable platform for monoterpenoid production, versatile biomolecules with broad applications in healthcare, agriculture, and consumer products. The team was among the top 10 finalists, was nominated for the best biomanufacturing project award, and was awarded the best software tool award in 2022.
We are interested in original research articles, systematic reviews, and methods that tackle various biomanufacturing problems and use synthetic biology principles and bioengineering methods. New engineering methods are encouraged. We prefer the articles to utilize synthetic biology. Original research and new methods articles will be our main focus because it has the scope to lead the field into new and exciting directions. The manuscripts should follow all the guidelines given on the journal website for the specific article type.
This research topic is open for iGEM competition participants.
