SYNSENSO – Cell-free synthetic biology for combinatorial biosensor design

SYNSENSO is a new Doctoral Network (DN) coordinated by the Technische Universität Darmstadt, that is set out to develop new, game-changing combinatorial biosensors. Funded within the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), SYNSENSO follows an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approach by bringing together academic and industrial experts from the fields of cell-free synthetic biology and molecular sensor design.

Cell-free synthetic biology and its use in biosensor design will be transformative for domains ranging from in-vitro diagnostics to health, environmental and bioprocess monitoring, yielding fast and cost-efficient sensors with unprecedented sensitivity and specificity.
