Hori’s group at Keio University studies on model-based analysis, design, and control of biomolecular systems from systems and control engineering perspectives.
Recent advancements in genetic engineering have enabled bottom-up design of chemically-driven circuits and systems that dynamically perform sensing, actuation, and information processing based on programmed biomolecular reactions. Hori group’s research focuses on the development of theoretical and experimental methodologies for streamlining the design process of such biomolecular systems and aims to systematize an emerging research discipline at the interface of control engineering and biology.
