Welcome to our scientific research website INCT EngBio! Focused on applying and expanding knowledge about Biological Systems Engineering, AI and Quantum Computing for the development of solutions. Here we will share articles, projects, curiosities, information and the main innovations in Biological Systems Engineering, Bioinformatics and Computing

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
