Abstract:
Synthetic biology, as an emerging frontier field which is growing fast, is playing a more and more important role and showing great potential applications in the low carbon economy. UK attaches great importance to synthetic biology, which drove this country to be the first country publishing national synthetic biology roadmap and specify synthetic biology as one of the ‘Eight Great Technologies’ in UK. This paper reviews the policy research, strategic planning, development model, and the achievements of synthetic biology in UK, hopping that this paper will provide references value for Chinese cutting-edge technologies planning.
