I was filming for a documentary about microbes and synthetic biology.

Pulkkis：我正在拍摄一部关于微生物和成生物学的纪录片。

So is synthetic biology, which I'll now refer to as " synbio."

成生物学也是如此，我现在将其称为“成生物” 。

And we're even looking at the tools for synthetic biology.

我们甚至正在研究成生物学的工。

For instance, synthetic biology seeks to write biology as a design problem.

例如，成生物学试图将生物学写成一个设计问题。

These are the first semisynthetic organisms.

这些是第一个半成生物。

It's not just synthetic biology, either.

这不仅仅是成生物学。

You do that with genetic engineering and synthetic biology.

你可以用基因工程和成生物学来做到这一点。

But what if you can go back to that idea of synthetic biology

但是，如果你能回到成生物学的想法呢？

Next, we need to make fighting these dangers core to the discipline of synthetic biology.

接下来，我们需要将对抗这些危险作为成生物学学科的核心。

So how can DNA and synthetic biology help?

那么 DNA 和成生物学如何提供帮助？

Synthetic biologists can program bacteria to sense those conditions, and by doing so, respond to tumors while avoiding healthy tissue.

成生物学家们可以让细菌对这些条件敏感，因此使得细菌只对肿瘤反应，从而避开健康组织。

It could boost synthetic biology, by speeding up the creation of human-designed proteins designed to catalyse chemical reactions.

它可以通过加速创造旨在催化化学反应的人类设计蛋白质来促进成生物学。
