Introduces the basics of design of synthetic biological systems, including the architecture of genetic networks, circuits, and pathways controlling engineered biological function, as well as single-cell microbial behavior, and microbe population dynamics. Also provides a gentle introduction to workflows in biomolecular engineering, genetic circuit design, genomic editing, as well as principles of experimental design. An overview of various engineered and natural biological functions is provided, including multi-stability, biological oscillations, stochastic effects in genetic circuits, robustness of circuit performance, and cellular capacity.

Great professor all-round. Understanding, answers questions with responses tailored to EVERYONE. Posts notes online pretty much day-of, gives gracious extensions and extra credit to patch up your grade, but still expects you to try your best. Dulls the edge of new and difficult material and makes it enjoyable. Archetype of modern lecturers.

Prof Yeung is an incredibly smart professor, sometimes to a fault because I don't think he fully realizes how hard this material (controls theory) is to many students. But he is really caring and accommodating with homework extensions and shorter or simpler homework. Always willing to answer questions and helpful office hours. Hw, midterm, final.

Learned many new things every day. Class of about 20 people and everyone is taken care of as if this was a small honors class. Very exciting topics
