Intracellularly Coupled Oscillators for Synthetic Biology Synthetic biology aims to engineer or re-engineer living systems. To achieve increasingly complex functionalities, it is beneficial to use higher-level building blocks. In this study, we focus on osci...

Happy to share our latest preprint! Oscillators as building blocks: we model how intracellularly coupled oscillators interact and predict complex behaviors, from beats to chaos, guiding the next generation of synthetic biological circuits. @dmf-unil.bsky.social
