SynBio Africa's story from the grassroots, the present, and the future.

SynBio Africa is a forum for researchers, students, citizen scientists, policymakers and the public to convene and develop successful pathways for the propagation of synthetic biology technologies, products, and services throughout Africa. Our vision is to have a healthy, safe, and sustainable world through synthetic biology. In Africa, synthetic biology has the potential to greatly contribute to national development agenda through the following ways: i) by anchoring a sustainable bioeconomy; ii) by helping develop innovative medicines; iii) by reducing pollution, and iv) by increasing crop production to reduce hunger.
