Real-time Control, Sensing and Learning in Systems and Synthetic Biology with Biomedical Applications

Synthetic biology has demonstrated the power of its approaches in many biomedical applications such as the synthesis of drug-delivery tools, the discovery of novel drugs, optogenetic systems based gene- and cell- therapies and so on. Modeling, identification, prediction and control are key components of both systems and synthetic biology and, thus, necessary for their convergence. 

The availability of large datasets a priori is necessary for most of the state-of-the-art ML-based techniques in order to successfully tackle modeling, prediction, identification, and control problems. This makes them unsuitable for online implementation. The main objective is to present online learning-based techniques that predict/control the behavior of a biological system without a priori knowledge of the system dynamics or datasets.
