The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University
Synthetic Biology - Part 2 of 2
This emerging field involves creating entirely new therapeutics -- even new organisms -- using the basic building blocks of life. Due to manipulation of these building blocks, the field has controversial aspects, but holds great promise for treating for many diseases and cleaning the environment.
Panelists include: George Poste, DVM, Ph.D., Director, the Biodesign Institute; Braden Allenby, Ph.D., Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering; J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., President, The J. Craig Venter Institute.
Guest interviews include: John Chaput, Ph.D., the Biodesign Insitute; Roy Curtiss III, the Biodesign Institute.

but then again maybe not. How weird is it to think you can take over from a systom that has come up with us?

Well Craig, you may never read this, but as I have no other way of addressing you I suppose this will have to do. I am both elated and deflated by your Dimbleby lecture. But in general I am in agreement with you and your arguments for the ongoing developement of synthetic bioligcal stuff.
