A Workshop on Control Engineering and Synthetic Biology will be held on the 10th, 11th and 12th of September 2014 at Worcester College, University of Oxford.
Description
Designing and implementing effective methods of control in a living cell has the potential to dramatically change biotechnology. However, before this potential is realised, a number of both theoretical and practical challenges must be met. The workshop on control and synthetic biology will broadly cover both the challenges and the opportunities involved with this area. Both synthetic biology and control engineering topics will be covered.
- Control Engineering Themes:
Modelling, analysis, and design of reliable synthetic circuits as well as regulation of synthetic processes.
- Synthetic Biology Themes:
Challenges and opportunities for implementing designs and enabling effective synthetic regulation and control.
