本月CAC与瑞士科技文化中心（swissnex China）联合推出第六期“科学咖啡馆“讲座，聚焦合成生物学。曾在苏黎世联邦理工学院（ETH-Zurich）做博士后研究工作的马里奥?安德里亚?马尔基西奥教授将在讲座中展示他关于”从微生物到生物传感器“的研究。

在合成生物学中，活细胞通过基因改造，以实现与其天然细胞不同的特定功能。其中，由相互作用的DNA序列构成的电路可以被特定的化学物质“接通”，因此可以被用作生物传感器。马尔基西奥教授的研究试图结合计算方法和湿实验技术，对面包酵母S. cerevisiae中的生物传感器进行设计、建模和实现。这一研究成果将有助于改善高等真核生物中的回路，例如改善预示病变细胞存在的遗传分类器。

编写DNA的酶有望革新合成生物学和数据存储领域。

除了马尔基西奥教授的讲座，CAC欢迎讲座来宾参加当前展览生长的导览活动。生长展出四位在生命体、合成生物学和生态行动主义交界处工作的先驱艺术家的作品。

关于讲者

马里奥?安德里亚?马尔基西奥教授是天津大学合成生物学副教授。在此之前，他在哈尔滨工业大学担任同一职位大约五年。他在意大利完成了学业，于特伦托大学获得了物理学博士学位。在米兰附近的CILEA超级计算中心工作后，他搬到瑞士，在苏黎世联邦理工学院的计算和实验合成生物学领域做了6年的博士后研究工作。他的研究领域”合成生物学”是一门新学科，有时也被称为生命工程学。合成生物学的主要目标是通过插入由DNA构成的分子电路来修饰细胞，从而发挥特定的功能。

瑞士科技文化中心

瑞士联邦政府科技文化中心 (swissnex China) 附设于瑞士驻上海总领事馆，是连接瑞中两国教育、研究和创新领域的桥梁。我们跨越传统界限，提供一个促进两国合作、创新，为突破性研究带来灵感的平台。作为连结教育、科研和创新的瑞士全球网络，瑞士科技文化中心全球网络致力于扶持其合作伙伴，帮助其积极拓展和融入全世界范围内的知识、理念和人才交流活动。

科学咖啡馆

本次讲座为瑞士科技文化中心“科学咖啡馆”系列讲座的第六期。这个全新的讲座系列邀请瑞士的杰出科学家和初创企业分享他们的研究项目和创业经验。“科学咖啡馆”于每个月的第三个星期四在瑞士科技文化中心或其合作空间举行。

Café des Sciences

Engineering microbes as living sensors

Speaker:
Prof. Mario Andrea Marchisio

Date:
20 June, 2019 (Thursday)

Time:
18:00 - 20:30

Language:
English (with consecutive Chinese translation)

Venue:
Chronus Art Center, Building 18, No.50 Moganshan Road, Shanghai

Organizer:
swissnex China, Chronus Art Center

*Free Admission, please click "Read More" for reservation.

Co-organized with Chronus Art Center, swissnex China is presenting the 6^th Café des Sciences Lecture with the focus on Synthetic Biology. Prof. Mario Andrea Marchisio, Post-Doctor graduated from ETH-Zurich, will give us a glance at his research on engineering microbes as living sensors.

In Synthetic Biology, living cells are genetically modified in order to carry out specific functions, different from their natural ones. In particular, circuits made of interacting DNA sequences can be “switched on” only by selected chemicals and, therefore, used as biosensors. Prof. Marchisio’s research tries to bring together computational methods and wet-lab techniques for the design, modeling, and implementation of biosensors in the baker yeast S. cerevisiae. The outcome of their work might be useful for improving circuits in higher eukaryotes, such as the genetic classifiers built to signal the presence of sick cells.

In addition to Prof. Marchisio’s talk, guests of the lecture are welcomed to join the guided tour of the current Exhibition – Growing at Chronus Art Center, featuring the works by four pioneering artists working at the intersection of living organism, synthetic biology, and ecological activism.

Rundown

About the Lecturer

Mario Andrea Marchisio is an Associate Professor in Synthetic Biology at Tianjin University. Previously, he held the same position, for about five years, at the Harbin Institute of Technology. He did his studies in Italy and got a PhD in Physics at the University of Trento. After working at the CILEA supercomputing center near Milan, he moved to ETH Zurich, where he spent six years as a Post Doc both in computational and experimental Synthetic Biology. His research field, Synthetic Biology, is a new discipline sometimes referred to as life engineering. The main goal of Synthetic Biology is to modify cells with the insertion of circuits, made of DNA, that carry out specific functions.

swissnex China

swissnex China is the Science Consulate of Switzerland for China, which builds bridges by connecting Switzerland and China in education, research and innovation. By crossing conventional boundaries, we offer a platform to foster collaboration and creativity for inspiring research and ground-breaking innovation. swissnex is the Swiss global network connecting the dots in education, research, and innovation. Its mission is to support the outreach and active engagement of its partners in the international exchange of knowledge, ideas and talent.

Café des Sciences

This event is the 6th edition of Café des Sciences - a new format offering a monthly platform for Swiss Spotlight Scientists and Start-ups to present their projects and connect with the local community. The lectures will offer a casual setting in which speakers can present their work and engage with the attendees during a Q&A period. Audience are welcome to enjoy the networking reception with Swiss flavour after the talk. The lecture is scheduled to take place every third Thursday each month at swissnex China or our partner spaces.
