Welcome to the National Institute of Science and Technology in Engineering Biology (INCT EngBio). We are a leading research hub dedicated to the convergence of Biological Systems Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Quantum Computing. Our goal is to drive the next generation of biotechnological breakthroughs through rigorous interdisciplinary research. Explore our latest projects, articles, and innovations as we engineer biological systems for a sustainable and technologically advanced future

Genome Minimization

is the process of stripping away non-essential genes from an organism to create a "minimal cell." By removing the biological "clutter" and keeping only the genetic instructions strictly necessary for life, scientists create a simplified platform for engineering

Genetic circuits

are functional units within a cell designed to perform logical operations, much like the electronic circuits found in a computer. By engineering sets of genes and proteins to interact with one another, scientists can program living cells to respond to specific signals

Bioinformatics and AI

combine biology and computer science to decode the massive amounts of data found in living organisms. By using intelligent algorithms to analyze genetic patterns, this partnership acts as a powerful engine for discovery
