The last 50 years have been dominated by microprocessors, information technology, and the countless ideas people dreamed up to use them. The next 50 will be brimming with living systems designed by people to bring value to their work, their homes, and our society. 

Synthetic biology – the rapidly advancing field concerned with crafting organisms to function as biological machines and making that process easier to engineer – is quickly transforming industries and changing the rules of business. 

If you want to understand how synthetic biology might impact your business, then this class is for you. No prior knowledge of biotechnology is necessary. You’ll gain an overview of synthetic biology, its current applications, and where the field is going. Then, we’ll work on a ‘bio strategy canvas’ to guide your business into this synthetic biology future. The class will be taught by Karl Schmieder, MS/MFA founder messagingLAB and author, What’s Your Bio Strategy?
