 To gain a better understanding of the dynamics of the biochemical networks within the cell, we need to perturb the individual components of such networks, and to measure in vivo the corresponding response. I see synthetic biology primarily as a tool that can help in this effort to study the cell “from the inside”; and secondarily as a tool to re-engineer cellular functionalities according to some desired specifications. Two crucial steps in this direction are: (i) the design and experimental characterization of libraries of standard building blocks like switches, sensors, logic gates, oscillators, automata; (ii) and the development of methods for the analysis and robust design of such devices.<br />
 The latter issues are well posed only within an evolutionary perspective.<br /></p>
