LEARNING OBJECTIVES: By completing this course, students will 

 understand fundamental engineering concepts applicable to biological engineering 
 recognize key research work from academia & industry towards practical applications 
 receive hands on training with computational and experimental synthetic biology 
 practically work on a specific example taken from marine organism 
 get acquainted with ethical, biosafety and biosecurity aspects of synthetic biology 

COURSE CONTENT THEORY: 

Introduction to logic gates, analog and digital systems, historical perspective of synthetic biology, biobricks, MIT Registry of standard Biological parts, gene truth table, synthetic genes and proteins, repressilator, bacterial camera, toggle switch, minimal synthetic cell, synthesizing genome, bioCAD platforms, iGEM, ethics, safety, industrial applications 

EXPERIMENTAL: computational biocircuit design, cell culture, promoter design, vector construction, cloning, expression measurement, biobrick / non-biobricks datasheet, synthetic genes and proteins Techniques of whole transcriptome library production and de novo assembly, quantitative real‐time PCR techniques in analysis of gene-expression pattern, generation of regulatory network models using transcriptome data and gene expression pattern analysis (pyocyanin synthesis pathway of Psuedomonas aeruginosa will be used as the model).
