synthetic biology
synthetic biology n. (a) an approach to biology which focuses on the understanding of complex and integrated systems rather than on the properties of their component parts (obsolete, rare); (b) (in the terminology of Stéphane Leduc) the creation and study of (models or simulations of) biological processes, systems, or organisms in vitro (now historical); (c) the interdisciplinary science that deals with the modification or artificial creation of biological organisms, systems, or processes, (now) esp. by the use of genetic engineering techniques. [In sense (b) after French biologie synthétique (1907 or earlier).]
