Abstract: Synthetic biology involves the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, as well as the re-design of existing, biological systems for useful purposes. Predictive mathematical models form an intrinsic part of the design and testing of synthetic biological systems. Â To access experimental timescales and (collective) behaviour of these systems at the 100nm - micron scale, atomistic models are not feasible requiring the use of mesoscale models widely used in soft matter physics. I will describe and summarise recent theoretical work characterising the behaviour of some examples of synthetic biological systems.
