Genetic Circuit Design

Genetic circuit design is like creating a biological computer inside a cell. Scientists engineer DNA sequences to control gene expression, similar to how computer circuits control electrical signals. By designing these circuits, researchers can program cells to perform specific functions, like producing insulin or detecting toxins. This research area aims to understand how genetic components interact and how to manipulate them to create predictable and controllable cellular behaviors.
