USTC-Software
Survey
A survey was conducted during the national science week in the school campus of USTC, where students were asked a few basic questions to discover their opinions on synthetic biology. The results of the survey were compiled and we've come to the following conclusion:
Considering our survey respondents includes undergraduates and graduates with different education backgrounds, it wasn't astonishing that 86% of them chose synthetic biology to be designing and constructing new biological functions and systems running on principles of biology as opposed to synthetically creating life. 38% of them also believed advances in synthetic biology will benefit human beings.
