Natalie Kuldell is an Instructor in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT as well as Founder and President of the BioBuilder Educational Foundation. She is an invited speaker at meetings all over the country, ranging from the TEDxBermuda conference in 2013 to national meetings for educators such as NSTA and scientists such as AAAS. Her expertise in synthetic biology and education as well as her scientific background have led to the publication of numerous articles and books. Recent articles include ones that focus on curricular content in synthetic biology, the evaluation of student design competitions, and the public’s engagement with biological engineering. Her books include “Genome Refactoring” which she co-authored with Neal Lerner, and an compendium called, “Zinc Finger Proteins: From Atomic Contact to Cellular Function” that she co-edited with Shiro Iuchi. She graduated in 1987 Magna Cum Laude from Cornell University with a BA in Chemistry and received her PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology from Harvard University in 1994. After a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School, she joined the faculty at Wellesley College where she taught and developed curriculum in the Department of Biological Sciences. In 2003 she was recruited to MIT as they were launching a new major (Course 20) and new department in Biological Engineering. Her leadership in curriculum development and undergraduate education helped position MIT’s program as a prime example of interdisciplinary engineering education, particularly in the area of synthetic biology. Serving as associate director of education for an NSF Engineering Research Center grant, Dr. Kuldell collaborated with award winning high school teachers to collect her MIT synthetic biology teaching materials into modular curricular units appropriate for high school and early college settings. The resulting curriculum, and the non-profit organization that sustains it, is housed at BioBuilder.org. Dr. Kuldell is spending her sabbatical year (2013-2014) as a visiting scholar with the National Center for Science and Civic Engagement, applying the SENCER model for teaching and learning to engineering education in high school and college settings.

By kumar vadaparty This is probably the best book for anyone trying to understand modern developments in synthetic biology. Whether you are an engineer, a student or simply a responsible citizen in modern day, you will benefit immensely by reading this book.In this day and time when you hear one new buzzword or "great genetic engineering discovery" producing another "miracle" (new organs, fossil fuels) or -- of course -- genetic engineering producing "Frankenstein GMOs destroying" our society (basically antipodal views our media likes to sensationalize), I believe we need a book that provides:(a) a Framework that reduces the entropy in the noise of buzzwords and accentuates the signal of science (in electrical engineering parlance -- amplify signal/noise ratio): clears the "vocabulary"/taxonomy of the meta data (what is synthetic biology versus genetic engineering versus..,.) and sets a framework to understand these advanced topics better and consistently. This itself is a major contribution, and the authors do a superb job in introducing the vocabulary and connecting to real world (synthetic biology world) objects in a concrete manner.(b) an Engineer's view & and experimenter's (hands-on) view of synthetic biology: from both an experimental science perspective and from an engineer's view perspective (plan-build-test cycle) this provides a consistent and in depth descriptions of famous experiments (iGEM case-studies). The "Plan-BUILD-TEST" is paradigm used to describe these experiments is similar to the famous "Plan - Do -- Check -- ACT" cycle popularized by Deming as a part of engineering Quality control (QC) -- and not surprisingly QC plays a big part of synthetic biology. The authors categorize the major experiments described in the book (each is a chapter) by clearly indicating whether the experiment/chapter is is to emphasize the "plan" part, the "build part" or the "check" part(c) A good balance between "top down" and "bottom up": Many people lose me when they provide a "foggy" top-down (and repeated and lofty) view of the synthetic biology. These authors have done a superb job of providing a good top-down view buttressed by numerous bottom-up building of the knowledge. You see going from concepts to protocols -- it covers a fairly large spectrum -- but never loses the interest of the reader or the thread of communication while taking you through these large sweeping journeys through this exciting science. This is probably the most complex feat to achieve -- and achieve they did excellently.(d) An excellent (and dedicated chapter) coverage on ethics. Rather than providing a biased view, the authors provide a much needed balanced view by going right to the source of some of the famous original debates (and the consequences) of the ethical issues. What is particularly compelling is their treatment of the reader as a mature person -- not as a consumer of an 8 second sound-byte (time between two commercials). Ethics of synbio is as complex as the science of synthetic biology itself, and they do a very good job in covering it.(e) Last but not least: Excellent support structure through workshops (leading from this book) to teachers to provide this knowledge to young students. This is probably almost as compelling a reason to read this book as the rest of the previous parts I mentioned.Finally, I had the great fortune of listening to two of the authors (Dr. Natalie Kuldell and Karen Ingram presenting it) and Dr. Kuldell's description of the workshops (I could not attend one as the notice was too short for me to take timeoff).Dr. Kuldell is a dedicated scientist, great writer and cares for teaching -- a rare combination in these times. I wish more such authors come forward and write with similar passion.A great read (I could not put this book down and had to share with my son-- together -- we finished in three days).Read, have your children/friends/family read -- learn and ENJOY!!Kumar Vadaparty, Ph.D.Engineer, teacher and (forever) a student.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Must-Have for the Fall! By Rebekah Ravgiala I have been teaching Biology for 18 years, and have successfully incorporated the BioBuilder modules into my class and after school Biodesign Club for the past 4 years. Dr. Kuldell has achieved what so few in the field of science education have managed to do - that is, placing current research in the hands of teachers by making science content understandable, and returning the "doing" of science back to the classroom. Her work has reconnected me with what I LOVE about teaching and what I have been craving for my students... an innovative, cutting-edge curriculum that emphasizes problem-solving and creativity rather than rote memorization and contrived lab experiences. This textbook is exactly what I have been waiting for... BioBuilder: Synthetic Biology in the Lab presents the emerging field of synthetic biology in understandable, teachable modules where students can simultaneously develop their science skills AND learn to apply the engineering-design process in the context of living systems! This textbook is clearly organized, concisely written, and is well-supported by aesthetically appealing annotated illustrations that accurately represent the content of synthetic biology. I can't wait to share this with my students!
