Mustafa Khammash (ETHZ), Mario Di Bernardo (University of Naples Federico II), Diego Di Bernardo (Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine) organised a tutorial session on Cybernetics on the 58th Conference on Decision and Control in Nice, France. This tutorial session presents an overview of the theory and design tools for the real-time control of living cells. The theoretical, computational, and experimental tools and technologies utilized for achieving such control make up a new and exciting area of study at the interface between control theory and synthetic biology—one we refer to as Cybergenetics. The session is intended to introduce control scientists and engineers to the different ways living cells can be controlled, and to the many opportunities for future developments, both theoretical and practical, that such control brings about.
The slides of this session are available here.
