Description:The Centre for Synthetic Biology (CSB) incorporates advanced knowledge in molecular biology, bioinformatics, molecular chemistry, physics and engineering to create new functions and materials. Engineering principles are applied to (re)design and build bio-inspired devices, ranging from diagnostic sensors to sophisticated drug delivery systems to cell-based chemical conversion factories. Besides foundational research on biologically complex systems, the CSB aims to develop new educational programs to train the next generation of students into ‘biological engineers’ and to establish an innovation network with industrial partners.
