phd thesis on synthetic biology

value of automation-driven synthetic biology. My thesis further demonstrates that the ways that researchers make automation systems work in the biosciences involve an attentive engagement between users' bodies, their competences, and their belonging and identity as part of particular groups. Researchers using laboratory automation

PhD Thesis: en_US: dc.description.abstract: Synthetic biology devices have proven to have a wide variety of applications, especially in the field of biosensors where pollutants, biomarkers, and a range of other stimuli can be detected. However, development of biosensor devices can be difficult due to issues surrounding optimisation, and ...

Abstract. Synthetic biology practitioners look through an engineer's lens at the incredibly complex, sensitive and seemingly endless resource of living reproductive material and contemplate turning biology into a substrate - composed of modular, wellcharacterised parts - that can be used to design and build new functional devices and systems.

The PhD studies were carried out between April 2018 and February 2023 at the Division of Systems and Synthetic Biology under the supervision of Verena Siewers and co-supervision of Florian David. The thesis was examined by Jens Nielsen. The research was funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) and the Novo Nordisk Fonden.

Synthetic biology thus presents philosophers with a fertile testing ground and field of experimental phenomena, bringing together epistemological, historical, ontological, ethical and political considerations. ...

A SYNTETHIC BIOLOGY APPROACH FOR ENGINEERED FUNCTIONAL BIOFILMS By Ebuzer Kalyoncu December 2017 We certify that we have read this dissertation and that in our opinion it is fully adequate, in scope and in quality, as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. _____ Urartu Özgür afak eker (Advisor)

Synthetic Biology. Synthetic Biology is an emerging field of research where researchers construct new biological systems and redesign existing biological systems. Faculty in BE are studying synthetic biology from the foundational level of developing a programming language for cells to the applied level of engineering viruses to secrete enzymes ...

cyanobacteria for synthetic biology applications Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Mary Ann Madsen Institute of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences University of Glasgow April 2016

In this thesis, we study the synthesis and secretion of two model recombinant proteins, insulin precursor (IP) and α-amylase. IP is a single chain peptide, containing 53 amino acid residues. There are three disulfide bonds and no N-glycosylation site in its native structure. α-Amylase contains 478 amino acid residues.

The work presented in this thesis focuses mainly on synthetic biology tools development for yeast cell factories, specifically in the development of biosensor systems for muconic acid and insoluble protein expression. Muconic acid is a precursor for plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate and nylon. Insoluble protein

Student thesis: Phd. Abstract Synthetic biology has been defined as: "the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and the re-design of existing, natural biological systems for useful purposes" (syntheticbiology.org). The convergence of scientific fields such as molecular biology, computer science and others have ...

Biography: Prof. Weiss is one of the pioneers of synthetic biology. He has been engaged in synthetic biology research since 1996 when he was a graduate student at MIT and where he helped set up a wet-lab in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. After completion of his PhD, Weiss joined the faculty at Princeton University ...

number of tools in different emerging fields e.g. systems biology, evolutionary engineering and synthetic biology have been developed. Synthetic biology offers an alternative approach that is becoming more accessible as a tool for better performing metabolic engineering of yeast. Due to the fact that the regulations of gene dosage and

This dissertation serves as partial fulfillment of the requirements to obtain the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Department of Biology and Biological Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. The PhD studies were carried out between August 2016 and August 2020 at the division of Systems and Synthetic Biology (SysBio) under
