Group 2's project overview and part design

List of initial ideas

  • Foundational
    • Parts for genetic circuits
    • New chassis (environment, etc.)
    • Optimizing existing parts (e.g., inverter)
    • Light sensor
    • Compartmentalization/insulation
    • Molecular screens (filters) that enable signal isolation and insulation (inside the cells and in between cells)
  • Computational
    • modeling of biotech-relevant microorganisms
  • Synthetic Biology Tools
    • Quality characterization techniques
    • Ways to insulate biological signals
  • Metabolic Engineering
    • Bioplastic production
    • Chemical degradation (toxin breakdown)
      • Oil
      • CO2
      • Plastics
  • Genetic Circuit Engineering
    • Light-based repressilator
    • Light switch
  • Biosensing
    • Ethylene biosensor
    • Algae that sense light and displays permanent memory
