👉 Growth engineering is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the manipulation of biological systems to achieve desired growth outcomes, often in the context of biotechnology and synthetic biology. It involves the application of engineering principles to control and optimize the growth processes of cells, tissues, or organisms, with the goal of enhancing productivity, efficiency, and functionality. This can include the design of synthetic biological circuits, the optimization of growth media and environmental conditions, and the use of advanced tools like CRISPR for precise genetic modifications. By understanding and manipulating key regulatory pathways, growth engineers can improve the yield of valuable products such as pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and biomaterials, while also ensuring the sustainability and scalability of biological production processes.
