In the past few years, many scientists have used genetic tools to make small molecules, including nucleic acids, peptides and proteins.Now, the same genetic tools are being used to make synthetic biology products that can mimic the effects of an infection or even help develop new drugs.These products are typically sold in the form of…

How we use science to make more predictions
Bioscience is all the rage right now, and it’s driving up demand for big data.But one problem that makes the process more difficult for researchers is that it can be difficult to measure what you’re measuring.We can measure the intensity of a heat wave, for example, but that information can’t be readily applied to a…
How to use biologicics to help with viral infections
A viral infection can be hard to diagnose and treat.That makes it hard to track who is at risk for infection and how to treat it.But scientists are starting to see promise in developing new drugs that can be administered to humans and animals and to humans with the virus.To get there, we need to…
