<div style="font-family: Calibri; "><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="5">Synthetic biology is an emerging engineering discipline that aims to design new functions in biological systems. This course aims to give students a hands-on experience building and
modeling synthetic circuits from the ground up to implement artificial biological systems. We will use the model yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a host chassis for engineering biological circuits. Students will have the opportunity to work at the cutting-edge
of synthetic biology by designing, building, and testing their own novel systems with a variety of potential applications.</font></div>
