Oscar Kuipers in documentaire synthethische biologie

Wat zijn de mogelijkheden van synthetische biologie? Vijf wetenschappers, onder wie RUG-hoogleraar moleculaire genetica Oscar Kuipers, geven een antwoord in de documentaire 'Synthetic Biology in Europe'. Deze film is gemaakt door Camillio Meinhart en Markus Schmidt en is gefinancierd door de European Science Foundation.

Dit is de beschrijving van de filmmakers: Synthetic Biology is an emerging field in at the intersection of biotechnology, information technology and biochemistry with the aim to make biology easier to engineer. But what exactly are synthetic biologists doing? And who are the people behind the technology planing to design and engineer living material?
This film takes you on a journey around Europe showing current developments in this field, portraying five outstanding research projects - funded by the European Science Foundation - and the scientists that drive them.
