Synthetic Biology in biomedicine: Engineered DNA- and RNA-encoded sensors

Mammalian synthetic biology could revolutionize the treatment of hard-to-tackle diseases by reprogramming cells using synthetic circuits. This webcast will describe the design of a readily readapted platform to sense intracellular proteins of interest, and address applications and challenges for engineering potential cell-based therapies.

Learning Objectives:

• How to engineer cells to deliver a therapeutic output only when needed
• How to engineer RNA-encoded programs
• Issues to address to speed development of new synbio-based therapies
