Program life itself. Design genetic circuits, DNA data storage, and biological logic gates using Bio-CAD tools.
Biology is the ultimate manufacturing platform. This course introduces Synthetic Biology: engineering biological systems for useful purposes. You will learn to design Genetic Circuits (AND/OR gates made of DNA), understand CRISPR gene editing concepts, and use Bio-CAD software to model sequences. We explore DNA Data Storage (saving files in DNA) and the ethics of engineering life. This is the frontier where software design patterns meet biological wetware.
