Pandemic preparedness: synthetic biology and publicly funded biofoundries can rapidly accelerate response time
Synthetic biology has played a key role in responding to the current pandemic. Biofoundries are critical synthetic biology infrastructure which should be available to all nations as a part of their independent bioengineering, biosecurity, and countermeasure response systems.
