Abstract
Theoretical and practical introduction into the design of dynamic biological desing at different levels of abstraction.
Objective
Students should be able to design genetic circuits
Content
The overall goal of the course is to enable students with either an engineering of a biological background to design genetic circuits along a formalized procedure starting with an abstract design procedure and developing this until the DNA-level. The course contains a crash course on molecular biology laboratory procedures and an introduction into biological and design fundamentals. The main part of the course requires the students to design their own genetic circuit.
