WITH THE SUPPORT FROM LEADING GLOBAL EXPERTS
Currently Ron manages the research of Weiss lab in MIT. The Weiss Laboratory seeks to create integrated biological systems capable of autonomously performing useful tasks, and to elucidate the design principles underlying complex phenotypes. The Weiss lab uses computer engineering principles of abstraction, composition, and interface specifications to program cells with sensors and actuators precisely controlled by analog and digital logic circuitry
Prof. Weiss is one of the pioneers of synthetic biology. He has been engaged in synthetic biology research since 1996

Professor Freemont is also co-founder of the Imperial College Centre for Synthetic Biology and co-founder/co-director of the National UK Innovation and Knowledge Centre for Synthetic Biology. The Centre aims to enable synthetic biology research in application areas like biosensors, biosynthesis, bioprocessing and metabolic and genome engineering and enable the translation of new synthetic biology technologies into start-ups , SME's and industry
Professor Freemont is Head of the Section of Structural and Synthetic Biology in the Department of Infectious Disease at Imperial College
