Bio Discussion Group: Engineering Genetic Circuits

From basic feed forward loops to the repressilator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repressilator), the principals of circuit design guide both natural and synthetic gene expression in bacteria. Much of our basic understand of genetic control systems is borrowed from our expertise in designing and fabricating mechanical and electrical parts. But how do we standardize a circuit board as complex as a genome, what tools do we use and how do we implement them? Join us as HiveBio bridges the gap between in silico and in vivo, discussing how citizens, students, and scientists guide the development of standardized genetic circuits.Be part of the discussion on Wednesday, 18th May at Ada’s Technical Books (425 15th Ave E on the Hill)

Join us for our monthly discussion group in Capitol Hill. Facilitated by HiveBio member Max Showalter, the discussion group is the perfect place to learn more about HiveBio Community Lab, discuss a project that you have in mind, talk about an interesting development in bioscience, and meet like-minded citizen scientists. See you there!
