Abstract
Synthetic Biology or BioSyn is an emerging discipline used to design and build new biological components, mechanisms and systems, or to redesign existing biological systems to provide them with new and improved qualities for a defined purpose. Its areas and fields of application include medicine, agriculture and the environment. BioSyn enables the creation of personalized therapies, the production of food ingredients with nutritional contributions and the creation of biofuels that reduce carbon footprint and biodegradable materials. The aim of this paper is to guide readers through BioSyn and some of its current applications to instill enthusiasm for the transformative potential of this discipline.
