This work, published in 2002 by Cello, Paul and Wimmer, was the first test-tube synthesis of an organism in the absence of a natural template achieved outside living cells. The poliovirus synthesis caught global attention, high praise, ridicule and fierce condemnation. Several years later, Wimmer published an essay in EMBO Reports reflecting on hotly debated issues that this new kind of research generated (ethical matters, questions about the global eradication of poliovirus, concerns of "dual use research"). Apart from providing a 'proof of principle,' the experiment heralded the total synthesis of organisms with computers as parents, a strategy that allows investigating the structure and function of an organism's biology to an extent hitherto impossible. Meanwhile, synthetic biology has led to a new kind of RNA virus genetics and has been used to develop rapid methods for computer-aided chemical synthesis of viral recoded genomes. This strategy allows for the generation of new vaccines in a very short time.

Many investigators have since used this strategy involving a cell "juice" void of the barrier of a cellular membrane, of nuclei or of mitochondria, for the study of key steps in poliovirus translation and genome replication. 275:, in 1974 to join the Department of Microbiology, School of Medicine, an academic environment in which he continued to engage. In 1979 he was promoted to professor at Stony Brook University, and from 1984 to 1999 he served as the Chairman of the Department. Wimmer was honored as a Distinguished Professor of the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2002. 1760: 385:
Using the nucleotide sequence of the genome deciphered in 1981, Wimmer followed up on the work published in 1991 by synthesizing chemically the genome in the form of double stranded DNA ("cDNA"), which was then transcribed enzymatically into genome RNA and "booted to life" in the cell free system.

Originally trained as an organic chemist, Wimmer developed a deep understanding and fascination for viruses as replicating (living) biological entities as well as (non-living) aggregates of organic compounds, or, "as chemicals with a life cycle". After working on the structure of
