In the lab we will make living cells that emit light in response to an electric stimulus. This can be achieved by genetic modification of yeast cells, through the introduction of fluorescent calcium sensors and calcium channels.

The plasma membrane of the brewer's yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> contains the Cch1-Mid1 channel that is homologous to mammalian Voltage Gated Calcium Channels (VGCCs). It is hypothesized that upon depolarization of the plasma membrane calcium ions selectively enter the cytoplasm through Cch1-Mid1.<ref>{{cite|journal|last=Iida
