Introduction to Research Seminar
in 157 Physics
Speaker: Vincent Noireaux
Subject: Cell-free Expression: Application to Gene Network and Synthetic Vesicles
Primarily for the first-year physics graduate students
A cell-free expression system is used to reconstruct genetic circuits in vitro. Reactions are carried out in batch mode to study quantitatively the properties of synthetic genetic circuits. The extract can be also encapsulated in synthetic phospholipids vesicles. This system is used as a model of protocell. Perspectives and limitations of this approach will be discussed.
The weekly calendar is also available via subscription to the physics-announce mailing list.
