Welcome
We are a research group developing new engineering methods and
applying them to solve problems emerging in Synthetic and
Systems Biology. The Stan group is based at CSynBI, the Centre for Synthetic Biology and Innovation in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London.
Our research focuses on developing tools to rigorously analyse, design and control synthetic gene circuits and cellular metabolism so as to endow cells with novel functionalities.
We rely on principles drawn from Control and Dynamical Systems theory, and the experimental testing of our research is carried out in collaboration with other groups at CSynBI: Travis Bayer's lab, Tom Ellis' lab and Karen Polizzi's lab.
Recent news
