Synthetic biology and engineered biological systems are accelerating drug development, enabling new classes of medicines, and unlocking previously undruggable targets. This forum will explore how “new to nature molecules” and rapid protein and genome engineering are being leveraged to enable novel therapeutic modalities and drug delivery approaches, from Nanosyringes to engineered vaccines and “living cures”. Essential for researchers and pharmaceutical professionals driving next-generation medicine development.
