+ | <h1> Week 23: June 04th to 10th </h1> | ||
+ | During this week we chose the project on which we wanted to work. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We decided to create a system which can detect a pathogene, like Staphylococcus aureus, for example. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We intend to build an ultra sensitive detector. The goal is to produce a detector which can hugely amplify a really low input signal. It consists of three modules: | ||
+ | |||
+ | the first gets the signal | ||
+ | the second amplifies it | ||
+ | the third sends the output | ||
+ | |||
+ | The detection module is a membrane receptor that once activated by a biomolecule actuates an amplification loop. The loop enhances the cell response efficiency. | ||
+ | The amplification system contains a genetic feed forward loop. It acts as a biologic loud filter aiming at reducing false positive outputs. Once amplified and filtered the signal is transmitted to the neighboring bacteria. In this way a noticeable fluorescent emission is generated. | ||
