👉 Life engineering, also known as synthetic biology or bioengineering, is a multidisciplinary field that applies principles of engineering and biology to design and construct new biological parts, devices, and systems, or to redesign existing natural biological systems for useful purposes. It involves manipulating genetic material, cellular processes, and metabolic pathways to create organisms with novel functions, such as producing biofuels, developing new medicines, or enhancing crop resilience. This field leverages advanced tools like CRISPR gene editing, synthetic DNA synthesis, and computational modeling to engineer biological systems with precision, aiming to address global challenges in health, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. Unlike traditional genetic engineering, life engineering often focuses on creating entirely new biological functions or optimizing existing ones in a highly controlled and scalable manner.
