Health in the earliest years strengthens developing biological systems that enable children to thrive and grow up to be healthy adults.
Finally, functional integration of metabolomics with the allied "omics" disciplines of transcriptomics and proteomics, as well as the emerging discipline of "fluxomics" are discussed in the context of developing biological system networks, the identification of unknown gene/protein functions and the analysis of metabolic pathways in marine plants exposed to stress.
A developing biological system does not only consist of one defined cell type, but it rather reflects all biological stages between the starting point and the final population.
"We're trying to integrate these principles of engineering with biology in a way that can be used to design and develop biological machines and systems for environmental and medical applications.
To Dr. McKay, this is "step one in the quest to develop biological based life support systems on other worlds;" or, to put it another way, "this is the Neil Armstrong of the plant world".
Glowee is developing biological light systems using the natural properties bioluminescent marine organisms.
Terrorists can develop biological weapons.
Although the understanding of the temporal evolution of a developing biological model system under stress is essential in toxicology and pathophysiology, we are not aware of any study that has addressed this issue in a quantitative and systems-wide way.
The mission of the DAMP (Design, Automation, Manufacturing, and Prototyping) Laboratory is to develop novel biological systems using formal representations of protocols and experiments for the specify-design-build-test cycle.
In 2006, the NSF funded the first synthetic biology engineering research center – Synberc – to develop engineered biological systems that will catalyze new technologies for processing information, producing energy, manufacturing chemicals and pharmaceuticals and fabricating materials.
