About this file
This government file outlines the Army Futures Command's Joint Enterprise for Synthetic Biology initiative. The Army Center for Synthetic Biology, led by the Combat Capabilities Development Command, Army Research Laboratory, and Army Research Office, is a basic research program focused on strategic national security areas through multidisciplinary university, industry, and individual projects. Specific research topics include increasing the Army's synthetic biology intellectual capital and improving its ability to address future challenges. The initiative aims to promote synthetic biology research and a constructive relationship between the Army S&T enterprise and research community. It will bring together partners through world-class facilities while focusing on mid- and long-term Army capabilities.
