{"product_id":"synthetic-biology-in-mammals-9780198841548","title":"Synthetic Biology in Mammals","description":"This primer introduces the challenges and opportunities of applying synthetic biological techniques to mammalian cells, tissues, and organisms. It covers the special features that make engineering mammalian systems different from engineering bacteria, fungi, and plants, and provides an overview of current techniques. A variety of cutting-edge examples illustrate the different purposes of mammalian synthetic biology, including pure biomedical research, drug production, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJamie Davies, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Experimental Anatomy, Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences, University of Edinburgh\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJamie Davies is Professor of Experimental Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh where his interests lie in using techniques of synthetic biology to program cells to make self-constructing, artificial tissues. His lab has been a pioneer in applying synthetic biological techniques to multicellular, mammalian systems and has built and published systems that allow researchers to control the collective behaviour of human cells. As well as publishing 150 research papers and 5 specialist books, he has published a trade science book with OUP (iLife Unfolding\/i). He has been elected a Fellow of the Society of Biology, Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, and Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and is a Chartered Science Teacher.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford Univ PR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50377224421650,"sku":"9780198841548","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_7ec26fa1-81b9-4edf-88cb-af51dd752194.jpg?v=1728618710","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/synthetic-biology-in-mammals-9780198841548","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
