Hands-on introduction to the design and fabrication of synthetic biological systems. Students will work together in small teams to specify and design integrated biological systems. Each team will have access to a set of standard biological parts and will also be provided a budget for de novo DNA synthesis. Class time will be spent discussing biological component device physics, system application specifications, biological systems analysis and fabrication, and principles of modern systems design. Final system designs will be shipped for fabrication at the end of IAP and will return for evaluation and debugging in May. Jointly sponsored by Course VI, the Biological Engineering Division, and CSAIL.
