Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses

Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses

The circadian—or biological—clock is an intrinsic, timekeeping, molecular mechanism that allows plants to coordinate physiological activities over 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms. Photoperiodism is a collective term for the biological responses of plants to variations in the relative lengths of dark and light periods. The period of light-exposure is called the photoperiod.

To provide a platform for systematic and efficient hypothesis verification in molecular cell biology.
To facilitate the handling, analysis, and evaluation of biological data from microscopy images.

Main Methods:

Developed STSE with modules for digitizing, representing, analyzing, and modeling spatial distributions of biochemical species.
Integrated Graphical User Interface (GUI) tools for meshing simulation spaces using the Voronoi concept.
Enabled automatic acquisition of spatial information from images based on pixel luminosity.

Main Results:

STSE provides an open-source framework for spatio-temporal simulations based on microscopy images.
The software includes GUI tools for meshing and automatic spatial data acquisition.
Demonstrated STSE's utility with a yeast cell signaling cascade example.

Conclusions:
