Keasling was named head of a newly formed Synthetic Biology Department
within the Division. The department will integrate a wealth of new data
and experimental advances in biology, engineering and nanoscience to develop
organisms and biologically-inspired systems that will one day convert
plentiful, renewable resources into energy, replace environmentally unfriendly
chemical syntheses, seek out and destroy pathogens, and remediate recalcitrant
environmental contaminants. The Synthetic Biology Department will expand
the division's capabilities and further its mission to forge truly interdependent
science at the cutting edge of the biological and physical sciences. 7/31/03.
