| description | Abstract The field of synthetic biology emerged a few decades ago, following some key works of researchers in the USA, Europe, and the Far East. It reached Israel through academia and a few years later it finally got the attention of industry, venture capitals, and government authorities, especially the Israeli Innovation Authority, hoping to encourage entrepreneurs to establish startups in this field. Here we provide an overview of the activity of the field of synthetic biology in Israel, including historical notes, current strategy, prospects and developments, and further insight that are relevant to any stakeholders in the synthetic biology field. |
