Topic: Computer-aided design of engineered cells: vision and some highlighted challenges
When: 3:30 pm on Friday, June 9
Where: Y2E2 Room 299
Guest Speaker: Tal Danino Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University
Abstract: Synthetic biology is driving a new era of medicine through the genetic programming of living cells. One particular focus has been the engineering of bacteria as therapeutic delivery systems for cancer, where microbes colonize and release payloads within tumors. Here, genetic circuits are designed to enhance spatial and temporal control of microbial behavior for improved safety and efficacy. In this talk, Danino will highlight their recent efforts to develop bacterial biosensors, encapsulation strategies, and effective delivery systems for payloads ranging from cytotoxic to immunomodulatory agents. Danino will also discuss the progression from bacteria as single agents toward their engineered interactions with other programmable medicines using synthetic biology.
