Special Interest Group @ ISMB 2012 - July 13, 2012 - Long Beach, CA USA

Home

The complexity of the genomic structure and our limited understanding of biological processes require new computational methods to investigate the huge number of possible designs for circuits, pathways, and entire genomes, with the ideal being the ability to model, simulate and redesign a biological system in-silicon prior to fabrication, similar to CAD/CAM for physical devices.

Synthetic Biology aims to establish a standard and effective biological design flow, where biological systems are designed and verified computationally, before in vitro synthesis and in vivo experiments. Each phase of this process has multiple challenges ranging from managing high-throughput laboratory operations to developing new software and defining accurate and interoperable computational models.

The Special Interest Group in Biological Systems Design (BSD-SIG) aims to provide a broad view of the current state-of-the-art to scientists from biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and engineering.
