'''In vitro Synthetic Biology (a cell-free talk)'''

Sebastian J. Maerkl 
École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne

7 Apr (Mon), 2-3 pm 
111 Keck

Living cells maintain a steady state of biochemical reaction rates by exchanging energy and matter with the environment. These exchanges usually do not occur in in vitro systems, which consequently go to chemical equilibrium. This in turn has severely constrained the complexity of biological networks that can be implemented in vitro. We developed nanoliter-scale microfluidic reactors that exchange reagents at dilution rates matching those of dividing bacteria. In these reactors we achieved transcription and translation at steady state for 30 h and implemented diverse regulatory mechanisms on the transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational levels, including RNA polymerases, transcriptional repression, translational activation, and proteolysis. We constructed and implemented an in vitro genetic oscillator and mapped its phase diagram showing that steady-state conditions were necessary to produce oscillations.

One potential application of in vitro synthetic biology is rapid prototyping of genetic circuits. This in turn requires that components and systems can be transferred from in vitro to in vivo, which has not yet been demonstrated for more complex genetic circuits. I will present recent results indicating that it is possible to transfer a functional in vivo genetic circuit (the repressilator) to our in vitro environment as a first step towards closing the loop between in vitro characterization and optimization of genetic circuits and their in vivo implementation.

SURF 2013

2012-12-21T04:38:38Z

Dsiegalg:

{{righttoc}}
This page is intended for students interested in working on SURF projects in the Summer of 2013. It contains a list of project areas where I will be supervising projects this year along with information about how to apply for a SURF project in my group.

=== Applying for a SURF project ===

Because I get many students interested in doing SURFs in my group and because we have several projects available, we use the first few weeks in January to sort out who we will work with in writing proposals. We only submit one proposal per project area and so we often can't accommodate everyone who wants to work in my group over the summer.

# A list of SURF project descriptions is given in the table below. Due to the number of SURF projects that we support, we are only able to support students who select from among these projects. Please make sure to read the project descriptions, required skills (if any) and skim a few of the listed references before contacting me about doing a SURF project.
# Students interested in writing proposals for SURF projects should contact me via e-mail by 11 Jan (Fri) and provide the following information:
#* A list of up to three SURF projects from the list below that you are interested in working on
#* A one page resume listing relevant experience and coursework
#* If you are not a Caltech student, I will also need the following additional information:
#** An unofficial copy of your academic transcript
#** Names of two faculty members at your current institution that I can contact for a reference
# Starting on 12 January, I will go through all applications and work with my group to identify who is a possible fit for each project. We will then contact you and ask for you to meet (or talk with) possible co-mentors so that we can eventually work out who we will work with in writing up a proposal.
# We hope to make final decisions on projects by about 20 Jan, at which point we will start working with students on writing up proposals.
# All applications should go through the normal SURF application process, described at www.surf.caltech.edu. SURF applications are due on 22 Feb 2013.
# If you are selected for a SURF, please be aware of the following information
#* All SURF projects in my group will start on 18 Jun (Tue). If you can't start on that date, please make sure that you indicate this when you contact me
#* All SURF projects are for a minimum of 10 weeks, although I usually recommend that you try to stay for 12 weeks if possible (at no additional pay). It's hard to complete a project in just 10 weeks and spending a few extra weeks can greatly improve the project.
#* All SURF students in my group will be expected to devote full-time effort to their SURF project, so you cannot have a second job in addition to your SURF.

SURF 2013: The costs and benefits of various designs of biochemical 'decision engines'

2012-12-21T04:37:10Z

Dsiegalg:

The experimental and theoretical study of 'decision making' in biological systems has led to the identification of fundamental biochemical circuits and networks with interesting dynamical behavior. Switch-like (or bistable) networks may be be particularly important as rudimentary 'decision engines' [1]. Indeed, bistability has already been found in a wide range of regulatory networks involved in decision making (e.g., [2, 3]).

This project involves exploring the costs and benefits of various bistable circuit architectures using a combination of theoretical and experimental tools. Cost-benefit-type analyses have been used previously in the study of biochemical systems [4] and have significant potential for understanding bistability and decison making in particular. The relevant costs and benefits may include energetic costs, circuit response time, stability, and cellular resource utilization (e.g., RNA polymerase and ribosomes). This work will form the basis for a general theory that could account for the large diversity of bistable network topologies found in nature and could direct the design of novel synthetic biocircuits.

At least two different bistable circuits will be explored using computational and experimental techniques. One possible approach involves developing differential equation models that capture energy usage, mean time to transition and robustness to concentration of transcriptional machinery. Simulations may be run using a variety of switch parameters to explore whether one topology or the other is superior across relevant (plausible) parameter ranges. Switch circuits will also be tested experimentally, taking advantage of the Murray Lab's expertise working with cell-free transcriptional circuits.

SURF 2012: Understanding feedback in bacterial toxin–antitoxin systems

2011-12-30T20:36:43Z

'''[[SURF 2012|2012 SURF]] project description'''
* Mentor: Richard Murray
* Co-mentor: Dan Siegal-Gaskins

Despite being found throughout the prokaryotic kingdom, toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems remain mysterious with regard to their precise role in biology. Generally, TA systems are composed of two genes, one of which has a toxic effect on the cell and the other which prevents the toxin from reaching its target. In addition to the effect that interaction with antitoxin has on the amount of free toxin in the cell, the concentration of toxin is also controlled with negative regulation at the transcriptional level.

Understanding the interplay between the steric interaction with antitoxin and the negative transcriptional feedback is the goal of this project. Students will develop detailed mathematical models of TA systems and explore in silico toxin dynamics as well as the effect of redundancy in feedback. In parallel with these theoretical efforts, a well- characterized TA system will be used to validate theoretical predictions. An important component of this work will be to develop the experimental tools necessary to monitor toxin–target binding and transcriptional regulation in real–time.

The schedule for group and subgroup meetings is given below. Everyone should sign up for times to talk in the subgroup meetings.


==== Directions: ====
* '''Biocircuits (Tue or Thu, 3-5 pm)''': graduate students should give 1 longer presentation per term + 1-2 additional research updates; postdocs, undergrads should give 1-2 research updates.
* '''NCS (Wed, 4-6 pm)''': grad students should speak 2 times per term for 15-20 min (+ discussion), postdocs and undergrads at least once
* '''Robotics (Wed, 4-6 pm)''': grad students and postdocs should speak 2 times per term for 15-20 min (+ discussion), undergrads at least once; will also do ad hoc updates
* '''Group meeting talks (WThF, 12-1:15)''': postdocs and senior grad students (G4+) should feel free to sign up for a group meeting talk (biocircuit grad students: this can be in place of longer subgroup talk)


<center>
'''Please sign up for at least one presentation in the first six weeks of the term.'''

Note that some of the meetings might need to shift, as noted; only sign up for those slots if you can make both times listed
