Hisresearchinterestsaredevelopingcell-freeproteinsynthesisplatformsandapplying syntheticbiologytoolstocontrolmultidrug-resistantbacteriaandbiofilms.BeforejoiningtheIllinois Institute of Technology, he worked on cell-free synthetic biology as a postdoctoral researcher at NorthwesternUniversityforfouryears.Hestudiedtheproductionofnovelprotein-basedmaterials via site-specific incorporation of non-standard amino acids and advanced genome engineering. His cell-free protein synthesis platform significantly improved the yield of modified proteins and enabledtheproductionofsequence-definedbiopolymers. In2011, hereceivedhisPh.D.atTexas A&MUniversity,studyingbacterialbiofilmsandpersistercellformationbyproteinengineeringand synthetic biology. He demonstrated biofilm displacement via a population-driven genetic switch coupled to engineered biofilm dispersal proteins. As of November 2019, his work has led to twenty-eight scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals, one patent, and over sixty presentations atscientificandengineeringresearchconferences. vii Editorial “Cell-Free Synthetic Biology”: Synthetic Biology Meets Cell-Free Protein Synthesis SeokHoonHong DepartmentofChemicalandBiologicalEngineering,IllinoisInstituteofTechnology,Chicago,IL60616,USA; [email protected];Tel.:+1-312-567-8950 Received:30September2019;Accepted:1October2019;Published:8October2019 SinceNirenbergandMatthaeiusedcell-freeproteinsynthesis(CFPS)toelucidatethegeneticcode intheearly1960s[1],thetechnologyhasbeendevelopedoverthecourseofdecadesandappliedto studyingbothfundamentalandappliedbiology[2].Cell-freesyntheticbiologyintegratingCFPSwith syntheticbiologyhasreceivedattentionasapowerfulandrapidapproachtocharacterizeandengineer naturalbiologicalsystems.Theopennatureofcell-free(orinvitro)biologicalplatformscomparedto invivosystemsbringsanunprecedentedlevelofcontrolandfreedomindesign[3].
