GT Synthetic Biology
This Thematic Group brings together two disciplines: synthetic biology and systems biology.
Synthetic Biology encompasses two complementary approaches to understanding and manipulating living systems. On the one hand, it involves the deconstruction and reduction of complex biological systems and phenomena into simple elements (“top-down” approaches). On the other hand, it focuses on the design and construction of new biological systems from these well-characterized components (“bottom-up” approaches).
Systems Biology, for its part, provides a multidisciplinary and multi-scale view of how living organisms function, with the aim of understanding the regulatory networks and interactions that govern an organism as a whole. In this way, Systems Biology proposes principles that explain the logic of living systems, while Synthetic Biology tests and applies these principles using engineering methods.
These two disciplines are therefore in continuous interaction, mutually enriching one another. Together, they enable the acquisition of fundamental knowledge about how biological systems function, as well as the development of concepts and tools for biotechnologies.
