Coevolution of Synchronization and Cooperation in Costly Networked Interactions

Alessio Vincenzo Cardillo, Alberto Antonioni

Despite the large number of studies on synchronization, the hypothesis that interactions bear a cost for involved individuals has seldom been considered. The introduction of costly interactions leads, instead, to the formulation of a dichotomous scenario i ...

Computational methods and modeling of cellular function for the optimization of protein production and the study of cellular disease states

Joana Raquel Pinto Vieira

Systems biology is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together all the basic sciences through the use of computational and bioinformatics tools, to provide a more integrative view of the complex molecular interactions taking place within and among cells ...

Microfluidic platforms for high-throughput mammalian cell printing, transfection, and dosage-dependent studies

Kristina Pan Woodruff

With the advent of high-throughput and genome-wide screening initiatives, there is a need for improved methods for cell-based assays. Current approaches require expensive equipment, rely on large-scale culturing formats not suited for small or rare sample ...

A High-Throughput Microfluidic Platform for Mammalian Cell Transfection and Culturing

Sebastian Maerkl, Kristina Pan Woodruff

Mammalian synthetic biology could be augmented through the development of high-throughput microfluidic systems that integrate cellular transfection, culturing, and imaging. We created a microfluidic chip that cultures cells and implements 280 independent t ...

Protection Strategy against IEMI for Wireless Communication Infrastructures

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Nicolas Mora Parra, Mirjana Stojilovic

In this paper, we present a methodology for estimating the protection levels of critical equipment against IEMI. We apply the method to a wireless communication infrastructure, but it can be applied to any critical infrastructure. The required protection l ...

Integrating gene synthesis and microfluidic protein analysis for rapid protein engineering

Sebastian Maerkl, Ekaterina Emilova Petrova, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Matthew Christopher Blackburn

The capability to rapidly design proteins with novel functions will have a significant impact on medicine, biotechnology and synthetic biology. Synthetic genes are becoming a commodity, but integrated approaches have yet to be developed that take full adva ...

Integrating Gene Synthesis and MITOMI for Rapid Protein Engineering

Matthew Christopher Blackburn

The research described within this thesis is primarily motivated by two fields of science with reversed, yet complementary, approaches to addressing the same essential objective: manipulating and understanding the complex program of life. Whereas synthetic ...

Study of transposon-mediated cell pool and cell line generation in CHO cells

Sowmya Balasubramanian

The goal of this thesis was to evaluate the use of artificial transposon systems for the generation of recombinant cell pools and cell lines with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells as the production host. Transposons are naturally occurring genetic elements ...

Mathematical models and computational methods for the analysis of genome-scale protein synthesis

Julien Racle

Proteins are a ubiquitous and indispensable element for every living organism, from simple bacteria to mammals. Already in the simplest organisms, there exist some thousands of different protein species that take up a great variety of structures, and thus ...
