Analog Circuit Modeling of Gene-Protein Networks

Electrical Engineering principles enable synthetic biologists to design genetic circuits that perform complex computations and bio-sensing. Developing analog electronic models of gene-protein networks allows synthetic biologists to design genetic circuits that consume less space and power when compared to genetic circuits resembling digital logic elements. I investigated the mathematical foundations of the analog electronic circuit representations of genetic circuits for a tool that generates electrical parameters when given data from a specific genetic circuit.
