Hi, im a undergraduate biotechnology engineering student that almost finish the career. I think important that you be clear about the differences and relation between synthetic biology and bioinformatics.
Basically, the core idea with synthetic biology is design and synthesis DNA on the lab starting from simples nucleotics, and leave behind the need of copy secuences from a source organism, and forward design completely new funcional genes (^.^)/. Besides this, bioinformatics focus on the analysis and handle of the information related to DNA, RNA and proteins basically, and there's where I think you can find a expecific issue with topics more related with computer science. Bioinformatics focused on syntetic biology, but specifically on what? Well maybe the develop of algorithms to predict the estability of the DNA construct during the synthesis and export to the target cell, all of this on the design stage or the analysis of the output information collected from the cell line or organism on study with the goal of elucidate the behavior in vivo (we don't know much of that in a complex level yet, for example on the regulation of genes)
Finally, this will be difficult for you if don't have the basic background of molecular biology, specially genetics .... but isn't imposible, I had to learn some algorithm stuff when intrested on this topic, my advice is look for someone with that knowledge and convinces him to help you =P
Fell free of correct me if im wrong, and sorry for the grammatical mistakes, im still need to improve my english
