Synthetic biology is an area of growing strength at UVA
A community of more than 100 faculty from eight schools at the University of Virginia – the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Engineering, the School of Medicine, the School of Law, the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, the School of Architecture, the McIntire School of Commerce and the forthcoming School of Data Science – have initiated new and growing collaborations in an emerging field of science and technology: synthetic biology, or “synbio” for short.
