Synthetic Biology Playlists and Videos

The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)/iBiology synthetic biology course is a series of talks about synthetic biology, covering general principles, technical challenges, current research, and ethical issues in synthetic biology research.

This playlist covers (bottom-up) synthetic biology topics on a basic level. The videos are from the Origins of Life course provided by the “Complexity Explorer” of the Santa Fe Institute.

This playlist includes short videos, most 3-5 minutes, giving different overviews of the field of synthetic biology. Accessible for the non-scientific public.

This playlist includes short videos, most 5-15 minutes, that each focus on a particular concept, technique, or application of synthetic biology.

This playlist includes longer videos, most 30-60 minutes, with academic professors and synthetic biology leaders giving lectures on topics within synthetic biology for a classroom or general public audience.

This playlist includes longer videos, most 30-60 minutes, with academic professors and synthetic biology leaders giving seminar style lectures on their new research findings.

This playlist includes videos focused on basic lab protocols common to synthetic biology. Videos typically show a researcher demonstrating protocols in a lab.

This playlist includes videos about the iGEM competition and videos by iGEM teams that are meant to explain their projects or engage people with synthetic biology generally.
