Emerging biotech atlas part two: Writing DNA to create synthetic life
DNA synthesis allows scientists to write DNA from scratch, creating new genes, organisms, and bio-based solutions that could transform medicine, materials, and food production. While this technology is rapidly becoming more accessible and affordable, it brings urgent biosecurity, ethical, and governance challenges. Europe has a unique opportunity to lead responsibly, building a thriving bioeconomy and safeguards that protect innovation and public safety.
