{{agenda begin}}
{{agenda item|9:00a|Workshop goals and introduction}}
{{agenda item|9:15a|Review of basic concepts in biology}}
* Central dogma
* Simple ODE models for biological processes
{{agenda item|10:15a|Break}}
{{agenda item|10:30a|Analysis techniques}}
* Use simple examples
* Repression effects on noise, response time
* Savageaumoics (repression versus activation)
{{agenda item|11:30a|Examples from biology}}
* More complicated system(s), with as much as can be analyzed
* Eg, Chemotaxis, necessity of integral feedback
{{agenda item|12:30p|Lunch}}
{{agenda item|1:30p|Overview of biological circuit design}}
* Synthetic biology
* Molecular programming
{{agenda item|2:15p|Robustness to uncertainty}}
* Simple examples, without too much implementation detail
{{agenda item|3:00p|Design of dynamics}}
{{agenda item|3:30p|break}}
{{agenda item|3:45p|Modularity}}
{{agenda item|4:30p|Implementation}}
* What can you actually do (limits of biomodularity, things that are easy to tune, etc)
* Examples of devices: switches, oscillators (with "experimental" details) - how to build things
* What can you measure (single cell microscopy, bulk measurements), inputs (IPTG, aTC, etc)
* iGEM presentation?
