The Team
We are the VT-ENSIMAG biosecurity team, linking both Virginia Tech and ENSIMAG and hosted at Virginia Tech(VT) by the synthetic biology group at Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI).
VT
(http://www.vt.edu/about/) is located at Blacksburg, VA (USA) where 30,000+ students study in one of the nine colleges and grad school.
VBI
(https://www.vbi.vt.edu/about_vbi/) is a research institute dedicated to the study of the biological sciences at Virginia Tech. By using bioinformatics, which combines transdisciplinary approaches to information technology and biology, researchers at VBI interpret and apply vast amounts of biological data generated from basic research to some of today¿s key challenges in the biomedical, environmental and agricultural sciences.
ENSIMAG
(http://ensimag.grenoble-inp.fr/) is located in Grenoble (FRANCE). It is a top French educational institution in informatics, applied mathematics and telecommunications, pioneer in the field of information processing. Ensimag students stay three years in this engineering school where they finish their BS (students had already prepared for two years the admission exam to the ENSIMAG school in another institution) and get a master degree in CS and applied math (plus specialization).
Synthetic biology group
(https://www.vbi.vt.edu/faculty/research_groups/synthetic_biology) where researches focus around Computer Assisted Design of synthetic genetic systems, Linguistic models of biological sequences, Stochastic dynamics of the yeast cell cycle and Quantitative imaging.
