Synthetic Biology is the design and fabrication of biological systems that do not exist in nature. It is also referred to the re-design and fabrication of existing organisms.
Systems Biology studies complex organisms as a whole and uses modeling tools, simulation and comparison in assays. It focuses on natural systems with some medical significance.
Synthetic biology tries to build artificial biological systems for engineering applications using the same tools. The method is not to expand science, but to engineer science application. It simplifies and characterizes biological systems to create totally unnatural, engineered organisms.
Synthetic biology is used to analyze and understand the nature by building a new system. Learning how to harness the power of nature is a major engineering promise.
