This journal focuses on the engineering of biological systems, including the design and construction of novel enzymes, metabolic pathways, and microbial cell factories for the production of valuable compounds, materials, and therapeutics. Research also explores the development of new synthetic biology tools and platforms for precise genetic control and functional characterization of biological systems.
