What's the best place for a software engineer to start deep diving into synthetic biology?

Never had anything to do with biology, but as a dev I programmed everything from AI, blockchain, low level hardware, does that help? :)

Your experience totally aligns! Synbio is growing a lot in the AI/machine learning space for things like drug discovery, in the hardware space for lab automation & even blockchain w projects that want to secure genomic data

ACS Synbio is a great journal: (recent AI pub:https://pubs.acs.org/page/asbcd6/vsi/aiforsynbio)

Lab automation is absolutely critical for the future as bio foundries seek to decouple the design process from the insight process. Let me know if you’re interested in chatting!
