Detection of allergens in food

• the presence of certain alergen promote the expression of FP.
• must be fast reaction. ie. detection on the spot.
• cell-free medium and can be stored in bottles under normal condition.

Biological Circuits

• variable resistors, capaceitors, a catalog of resistors ...
• setup a basic ALU(arithmetic logic unit), from pre-designed gates
• biological clock; counts up in seconds or minutes (not countdown like peking07-hopcount), something similar but not elegant enough has been done by Harvard2006

Biological Manufacturing

• Bacterial cells to assist in production of things like biofuels/fertilisers/etc.
• Cheap and easy production of pharmaceuticals.

Biological Control

• PID control similar but more elaborate to Valencia2007
