Synthetic biology and nanotechnology fusion represent a transformative approach promoting fundamental and clinical biomedical science development. In SynBioNanoDesign, biological systems are reimagined as dynamic and programmable materials to yield engineered nanomaterials with emerging and specific functionalities. This review elucidates a comprehensive examination of synthetic biology's pivotal role in advancing engineered nanomaterials for targeted drug delivery systems. It begins with exploring the fundamental synergy between synthetic biology and nanotechnology, then highlights the current landscape of nanomaterials in targeted drug delivery applications. Subsequently, the review discusses the design of novel nanomaterials informed by biological principles, focusing on expounding the synthetic biology tools and the potential for developing advanced nanomaterials. Afterward, the research advances of innovative materials design through synthetic biology were systematically summarized, emphasizing the integration of genetic circuitry to program nanomaterial responses. Furthermore, the challenges, current weaknesses and opportunities, prospective directions, and ethical and societal implications of SynBioNanoDesign in drug delivery are elucidated. Finally, the review summarizes the transformative impact that synthetic biology may have on drug-delivery technologies in the future.
