Introducing myself:
I am a grad student at NCBS, Bangalore working in Mukund's lab. We are interested in understanding design principles of existing genetic networks, using E .coli as a model system.My work involves development of fluorescence based tools for quantitative measurement of network components in single cells. I am also studying switching dynamics of feedforward and feedback circuits.
Mukund conducted a course : Synthetic Systems Biology(SSB) at NCBS to introduce NCBS students to the emerging field of synthetic biology and to iGEM. The course participants were divided into three groups, each group working on a synthetic biology project.
I am part of the group that is working on a synthetic circuit to achieve synchronization of cell cycles in a bacterial population.
