Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is a rapidly expanding field at the interface of the engineering and biological sciences which aims to apply rational design principles in biological contexts. Synthetic biological systems can be designed to tackle real-world problems ranging from environmental cleanup to chemical synthesis, and from medical sensing to decision making and computation. Architectures similar to those traditionally used in control engineering have been found to govern a range of regulatory processes in natural systems. In our group we develop synthetic control systems that can be employed to make engineered biological systems more robust.
