Message from the Dean

“Build to learn” provides a new research paradigm for understanding the essence of life. The genetic realization of gene switches and oscillators, the artificial synthesis of chromosomes and the creation of primary biological systems, the expansion and function presentation of genetic codes, and the precise description and regulation of the behavior of biological groups by mathematical models are classics for understanding and even regulating the laws of life.

“Build to use” shows the great potential of engineering biology. It enables technological progress through gene network editing and new object design, guides the iterative upgrade of biotechnology, drives the future development of bio-economy, and responds to human health, food security, and the environment. Provide scientific solutions to the challenges faced by ecological security, energy and resource security.

The Faculty of Synthetic Biology is deeply integrated with the Institute of Synthetic Biology, Shenzhen Institute of Adavanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. High-level faculty, advanced teaching platforms and first-class scientific research facilities will provide aspiring young people with a high-quality platform for learning, innovation and entrepreneurship in life sciences and interdisciplinary sciences.

Synthetic biology is a brand-new discipline that has competed in the development of science and technology powers since this century. Our faculty is the world’s first largest synthetic biology faculty We look forward to students coming here with their dreams, with confidence, optimism, wisdom, diligence and integrity. To compose the magnificent movement of life and become a pillar of science and technology in the future.
