Research
We designed a circuit capable of producing patterns in a controlled way. Using a modified and temperature-sensitive lambda repressor (cI), we can trigger this structure formation at desired points in time. This time-dependent controllability, together with the possibility to change many different parameters and output signals, leads to an enormous tunability in the creation of the patterns, providing advancements in a variety of industrial processes like for example the creation of novel bio-materials. On the other hand, this fundamental project could also speed up medical research projects on among others tumor formation and tissue regeneration.
Plasmids
“ We are not gonna buy that; We can make it “
When designing plasmids, we need to add tags and fluorescent proteins to quantify our parameters. We will also add extra restriction sites to easily generate biobricks.
