About

Genetic circuits are often difficult to engineer, requiring months to design, build, and test each individual genetic device involved in the circuit. SBiDer, a web tool developed by the UCSD Software iGEM team, will leverage existing devices to construct a database with consideration for the function of each device interpreted as boolean logic. The data can be queried by the user through SBiDer's visual interface to explore circuit designs. The displayed circuit's literature reference, characterization data, and images of included devices can be viewed through the built-in table. Basic validation of the circuit performance is also provided within in the interface. SBiDer's web of information can be expanded through user-generated additions to the database to improve the efficiency of the application and the accuracy of the models.

Jenhan is a PhD student in the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology program at UCSD. He's interested in utilizing computational technqiues to increase our capacity to understand complex biological problems such as cell signalling. This is Jenhan's second year working as an iGEM mentor. Previously Jenhan was involved in synthetic biology research as an iGEM team member at Boston University and as a research assistant at UC Berkeley, the BioFAB, and Boston University.

My name is Benjamin Kellman. I am a PhD student at the University of California at San Diego studying Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. My work uses existing formalisms in mathematics and computer science to consolidate the spurious information of experimental biology to a more codified rule set; many such reductions have already been made. I hope to apply fundamental biological axioms formalism to increase the power of my biological predictions.

Andreas Dräger works as an independent research scholar in the Systems Biology Research Group at UCSD. He studied bioinformatics at the Martin Luther University in Halle and worked as an intern at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin, and at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He did his PhD at the Center for Bioinformatics in Tübingen and worked as visiting research student at Keio University in Yokohama. The Faculty of Science (University of Tuebingen) awarded his PhD thesis as the most outstanding work of 2011 and granted him a funding for an own graduate student.
