The Present and Future Promise of Synthetic Biology
b'Emerging technologies\\u2014such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, 5G, and synthetic biology\\u2014drive security and economic competition and are increasingly shaping national strategies. To develop an effective strategy for synthetic biology, policy makers and the general public need a better understanding of synthetic biology\\u2019s underlying capabilities, state of development, and diverse applications. Through a series of four symposia, CSIS will explore synthetic biology\\u2019s wide-ranging applications\\u2014from advanced microelectronics and materials to nutrition and cosmetics \\u2014and opportunities to shape its future development in support of U.S. security and economic interests.'
