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. 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.
