Lecturer: Milton Muldrow Jr.
"Taught by Professor Milton Muldrow Jr., of Wilmington University, this course is an introduction to synthetic biology, covering its uses in medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and other areas, while also looking ahead to truly science fiction-like applications to molecular computers, space travel, and the creation of alien life-forms. Dr. Muldrow also addresses the potential misuse of synthetic biology, which could have devastating consequences for humanity and the biosphere."--Publisher's website.
