Mixed-Reality CellBidirectional coupling between real and virtual bio-oscillators
Project
With the rapid development of biology and computer technologies, the era of mixed-reality is coming, which has profound influence on the future research. In this project, we are working on creating a new kind of life form, mixed-reality cells (MR. Cell), which are half-real and half-virtual.

In wetlab, we constructed a genetic oscillator in E. coli as the real part. In order to connect the real oscillator in E. coli with the virtual oscillator in computer simulation, a light control circuit associated with the oscillator was adopted. Besides, we do a series of verifying and testing work to confirm that the real part can work.

Corresponding to the real part, an e-oscillator was simulated in a computer as the virtual part. To validate the coupling process, we simulated the interaction between the two e-oscillators. Besides, mixed-reality state of physical systems was demonstrated to indicate that our MR. Cell could work.

Till now, the real part and the virtual part have all been done. But, how can we combine them together? That's what we do at the hardware part. We aim at unifying the two parts to form an inter-reality system, MR. Cell.

We have done lots of work to make our project perfect.Not only have we met the standards of gold medal, but we believe that what we did has great significance in future research.
view moreTeam
Our team is made up of 17 members with different majors and can be divided into three groups, wet-lab, modeling and connection. But, we cooperate well to accomplish our dream. It’s the third time for us to participate in this event.
