The project is derived from a very simple idea: Control a cell function at our will. For that we needed two things:

• First we need to provide the cell with an ability we require

• Second we need to create a way to order the cell to use that ability

We devised the use of sensors to give the cells a way of knowing when our command input has been addressed and a complex function to perform upon such input.
