Seminar Title: "Engineering Biochemical Systems Using A Cell-Free Expression Toolbox"

I will present an all E. coli cell-free expression platform (TXTL) specifically developed to construct and characterize dynamical systems programmed with gene circuits executed in either test tube reactions, microfluidics or cell-sized liposomes. TXTL is used in many applications from prototyping single gene regulatory elements to the complete synthesis of bacteriophages and the assembly of synthetic cell analogs.
