GenBioD is a multidisciplinary research group at the intersection of genomics, synthetic biology, and biological design. We explore how genomic information can be transformed into innovative biological systems that drive sustainable solutions in biotechnology, health, and the environment.
We follow the principles of the Design–Build–Test–Learn (DBTL) cycle — a cornerstone of modern bioengineering and synthetic biology:
Learn: Decode genomic data to understand biological systems.
Design: Use this knowledge to design new pathways, networks, and functions.
Build: Construct and engineer biological systems using cutting-edge molecular tools.
Test and Learn — Experimental output and refining our understanding with every cycle.
To bridge genomic discovery and biological engineering — learning from nature’s code to design biology for the future. We aim to cultivate a platform where genome-driven design leads to sustainable technologies and transformative scientific insights.
We integrate:
Genomics — Comprehensive genome analysis to uncover function and diversity.
BioDesign — Applying engineering logic to reprogram and optimize biological systems.
Connecting biology, computation, and engineering to accelerate discovery.
We welcome students, collaborators, and partners who share our passion for learning from genomes and building with biology.
