Overview on platform for synthetic biology research at Shenzhen
traditional labor-intensive research paradigm no longer satisfies the demand from increased numbers for trial-and-error experiments and processing and analysis of mega data. With the support from national
provincial and municipal governments
platform for synthetic biology research
established by Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology
Chinese Academy of Sciences is now ready for operation
and expected to put into running in 2023. This report presents a brief introduction to The Major Scientific and Technological Infrastructure for Synthetic Biology Research. The first phase development for the Infrastructure includes three platforms: Design and Learning
Synthesis
and User Testing
and the second phase is for the medical transformation platform. The Infrastructure mainly focus on automated synthetic biotechnology
and introduces the concepts of intelligent manufacturing into synthetic biology research for high-throughput synthesis of living organisms. Through the establishment of such an intelligent production unit based on the information management system
the closed loop of “design-build-test-learn (DBTL)” can be implemented more efficiently with high-throughput and low-cost
which can realize rational and predictable design and synthesis
and also achieve remote design and economical production of synthetic living organisms at large scale. In addition
the platform integrates information technology (IT) and biological technology (BT) through information interconnection and internet of thing (IoT) devices for being fully automated and intelligent to conduct standardized tests
algorithms
processes and other workflows
which ultimately helps to inspire breakthroughs in basic research and interdisciplinary integration for technological innovations.
