Achievements
We have:
- Designed and constructed the first Lightning Cell Display (iLCD), a fast and responsive digital imaging system based on living cells, which is able to produce an animated image of up to 144 pixels from a given electrical stimulus.
- Built the first Light Emitting Cell (LEC), opening the gate to the use of electricity as a signal mediator in Synthetic Biology works.
- Developed an integrative experimental system to control the LECs, which is able to apply a precise voltage (between 0V-24V) during a precise period of time (with intervals as small as 20 ms.) controlled by a computer. The experimental device was integrated with a continuous luminometer in order to measure the light emission as a function of these parameters.
- Precisely characterized the LEC, studying the factors that can be tuned (like voltage and shock time) and proving in a wide range of experiments that aequorin-engineered yeast can be stimulated with electric current. From these works we have established that the refreshing time of our LEC is of about 10 seconds.
- Advanced Bioelectronics enabling bidirectional communication of unicellular organisms and electronic components.
- Characterized a new part: BBa_K222000 (Aequorin).
- Developped an impressive Human Practices part of the project. Resulting in the publication of the book Sins, Ethics and Biology
- Helped TUDelft and NTU-Singapore whith their respectives surveys. We have also helped to Paris Team answering their questions about their iPhone application
