DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mustafa Khammash\nAbstract: Norbert Wiener’s 1948 Cyb
 ernetics presented a vision unifying the study of control and communicatio
 n in the animal and the machine. Predating the discovery of the structure 
 of DNA and the ensuing molecular biology revolution\, applications in the 
 life sciences at the time were limited. Today\, the confluence of modern g
 enetic manipulation techniques\, powerful measurement technologies\, and a
 dvanced analysis methods is enabling a new area of research in which syste
 ms and control notions are used for regulating cellular processes at the g
 ene level. This presentation describes novel analytical and experimental w
 ork that demonstrates how de novo control systems  can be interfaced with 
 living cells and used to control their dynamic behavior. The feedback syst
 ems can either be realized on a computer (in-silico control) or through ge
 netically encoded parts (in-vivo control). The two approaches will be comp
 ared and contrasted\, and applications in biotechnology and therapeutics w
 ill be described.
