Nexus Series: Mining Microbes to Engineer Novel Biosensors
A lack of biosensors fundamentally limits the application of engineering to biology, and impacts society across a range of sectors including healthcare, biotechnology, drug development, environmental management, agriculture, consumer technology, and the military. We have developed a novel platform for developing inexpensive, real-time, and portable biosensors for a vast array of analytes. Our unique platform capitalizes on an enormous and largely untapped reservoir for portable and inexpensive organic biosensing proteins: microbes. Microbial organisms have evolved over 3 billion years to sense virtually any stimulus relevant to human biology and biotechnology. They do so through proteins that can be harvested and developed into electronic biosensors suitable for integration into any sensing device. Using our platform, we have developed multiple first-in-class biosensors that validate our ability to discover and translate novel microbial parts into new sensor devices. We have also developed a growing technology portfolio to harness the full potential of microbial sensing parts into fully deployed electronic sensor devices, applications, and wearable devices. BU Engineering's Dr. James Galagan will discuss his work and the opportunities for healthcare, consumer technology, and biotechnology in this webinar.
