About
Nazario Bosco is a pioneering synthetic biologist whose work centers on the large-scale design, synthesis, and functional delivery of DNA, with a particular focus on pushing the boundaries of mammalian genome engineering. His most significant contribution is the landmark achievement of *de novo* assembling a 101 kb functional human gene and successfully delivering it into mouse cells—a feat that represents a major leap from viral and microbial genome synthesis to the far more complex mammalian scale. This work, first reported in 2018 and published in a high-impact venue in 2021 (garnering 55 citations), directly tackles the critical challenges of assembling and expressing large DNA constructs in living systems. By demonstrating that a synthetic human gene can be expressed in a mouse model, Bosco has provided a powerful proof-of-concept for bottom-up synthetic biology, opening new avenues for gene therapy, functional genomics, and the study of large genomic regions. His research is foundational for the future of designer genomes and therapeutic DNA delivery.
