Revision as of 15:54, 16 September 2013
Advisors and Instructors from Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering
Prof. Dr. Sven Panke
Head of the Bioprocess Laboratory
Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering
Instructor
The research of the BioprocessLaboratory revolves around the design of novel bioprocesses for the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. We address fundamental issues in biocatalyst discovery, biocatalyst engineering and process engineering. This set of activities reflects the interdisciplinary set of competences, from engineering to molecular biology, that is required to design successful processes. This includes, in the framework of our activities in synthetic biology, our work towards the transfer of more and more engineering concepts into the world of bio”engineering”, with the ultimate goal of converting biotechnology from a discovery science into a true engineering discipline.

Prof. Dr. Yaakov Benenson
Head of the Synthetic Biology Group
Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering
Instructor
Prof. Dr. Benenson joined ETH in 2010 to establish a Synthetic Biology group at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering in Basel. The group will continue to pursue cutting edge research in synthetic biology and focus on applying the concepts of biological computing to problems in medicine.
We engineer synthetic biological circuits that control and manipulate living cells. Our circuits comprise modules common to all control systems: sensors, processors (computers) and actuators. Unlike traditional electromechanical devices, all these modules are built of biological molecules and operate inside live mammalian cells.

Synthetic Biology Group
Prof. Dr. Joerg Stelling
Head of the Computational Systems Biology Group
Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering
In Mai 2008 he becomes full professor of Computational Systems Biology at the new Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (BSSE) in Basel.
His research interests are in the fields of analysis and synthesis of biological networks with the help of - and by further development of - methods from systems theory and computer science. The strong interdisciplinary character of the research projects is reflected by a (international) network of co-operation partners from different scientific fields.
