The NEST PATHFINDER initiative on «<strong>Synthetic</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>» was launched in 2003.<br />

Following two calls for proposals, 8 projects have been selected for funding.<br />

These projects apply design and engineering principles <strong>to</strong> biology with the aim <strong>to</strong><br />

construct new functionalities and novel artificial systems based on sub-cellular<br />

biological building blocks.<br />

A high-level expert group was established in 2005 with the aim, <strong>to</strong> examine, forecast<br />

and describe this new and emerging scientific field, its potential impact and support<br />

needs. The present report summarizes their findings and recommendations.<br />
