  1. Network Challenge: Building robust synthetic biological networks across organizational layers Increasing Hierarchy of Organization Year 1 “Low Level” Structures Biology Theme: Constructing simple functional network motifs (switches, oscillators, etc.) from standardised biological parts. Electrical/Computer Engineering Theme: The “Art of Electronics” - building transistors, op-amps etc. Control/Systems Engineering Theme: Understanding the robustness of simple biological and electrical circuits. Year 2 “Medium Level” Structures Biology Theme: Constructing and modifying signal transduction, protein-protein and metabolic networks. Electrical/Computer Engineering Theme: Interconnecting parts to build circuits that perform efficiently and reliably. Control/Systems Engineering Theme: Interconnection of subsystems to design robust super-systems; modularity in design. Year 3 “Higher Level” Structures Biology Theme: Bottom up and top down approaches for constructing artificial cells and multi-cellular systems. Electrical/Computer Engineering Theme: Organizational principles and protocols in computer networked systems. Control/Systems Engineering Theme: Architectural principles of complex networked systems. • Universal Topics and Common Bases • Measurement methods at different scales and organizational levels. • Ethical, economical, philosophical, legal and societal issues. RoSBNet: A new international network in Synthetic Biology • What we are and what we do: • RoSBNet aims to establish international links between electrical/control/computerengineers,physicists, biologists and ELSI members toward Synthetic Biology researches. • In RoSBNet, members transfer knowledge of their own research domain and develop a fruitful discussion and cross-fertilization of ideas on Synthetic Biology, and ultimately create a cohesive community that can respond effectively to research challenges in Synthetic Biology. • RoSBNet is co-funded by BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC, and AHRC.The main activity is an annual, 3-day workshop.Meetings will be open to all researchers. The organisation of the topics is shown in the figure above. A network core will coordinate all activities. • Membership will be dynamic. Funding is available for travel and subsistence for 30 Oxford-based, 20 Nation-wide/EU and 10 International members who attend the annual workshop.
