Whether it is new and better drugs and therapeutics, more pest-resistant crops or the rapid development of mRNA vaccines to fight COVID-19 within months of a global pandemic, biotechnology has revolutionized industries.

Applying engineering principles to biology has dramatically expanded the scale and scope of protein development. Coupling DNA synthesis with bioinformatics, artificial intelligence and a rapidly expanding toolbox of techniques has made the identification and modification of existing proteins and the development of entirely new proteins vastly easier. This playbook looks at: 

• The possibilities of protein engineering. 
• The opportunities that companies generating predesigned and customized gene fragments, DNA and RNA oligonucleotides and other biotechnology tools can offer to various industries.
• Real-world case studies.
