About
Diego di Bernardo is a pioneering figure in systems and synthetic biology, whose research bridges computational modeling and experimental control to unravel the dynamics of cellular processes. His key contributions lie in developing closed-loop feedback control strategies to manipulate biological systems, most notably the cell cycle in budding yeast. In his landmark 2021 study, di Bernardo engineered an automatic synchronisation system that uses real-time monitoring and feedback to align cell division across an entire population—a feat previously unattainable with traditional short-term methods. This work, which has garnered 22 citations, demonstrates how cybernetic principles can be applied to biology, enabling precise, long-term control over cellular behavior. Beyond this, di Bernardo’s broader impact includes advancing our understanding of gene regulatory networks and designing synthetic circuits for therapeutic applications. His innovative approach has earned him recognition as a leader in the field, inspiring students and researchers to explore the intersection of control theory and biology. With a career marked by high-impact publications and interdisciplinary collaboration, di Bernardo continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in synthetic biology, offering powerful tools for studying and engineering living systems.
