What are the major applications and advances in synthetic biology?

Today, the human being seeks to solve specific problems, improve the quality of life and satisfy needs in a sustainable way, that is, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. However, there is still a lack of regulation at an international level, because even if one is animated by the best intentions, it is very difficult to control all the consequences of a project, especially in a world as complex as the one we know. His main contributions are in medicine, environment, industries and materials. And some of his projects are:

 Microorganisms used for bioremediation to clean pollutants from our water, soil and air.

Rice modified to produce beta-carotene, a nutrient generally associated with carrots, which prevents vitamin A deficiency.

Vitamin A deficiency causes blindness in 250,000 to 500,000 children each year and greatly increases a child's risk of death from infectious diseases.

Yeast designed to produce rose oil as an eco-friendly and sustainable substitute for the royal roses that perfumers use to create luxurious aromas.
