Our team aims to use a synthetic biology approach to engineer artificial cell-to-cell communication systems. Our main project is to create a "Synchronized Oscillatory System" hereafter named "Synchroscillator" and we also have a side project which we call: "Fungal Track 'n Trace". The aim of the Synchroscillator project is to produce periodic oscillatory protein expression in ''E. coli'', synchronized across a population, using the quorum sensing machinery from ''Vibrio fischerii''. The Fungal Track 'n Trace project aims to implement an artificial intercellular communication system in the hyphal fungus ''Aspergillus nidulans''. |
