BioMADE: In-Fermenter Cell Datastreams: Wireless Networks of Free-Floating Microbial-Electronic Sensors
Microbial fermentation is essential for producing a wide range of products, including medicines, biofuels, and food ingredients. The microbial behavior during these complex processes must be monitored closely. This project will develop a new class of wireless, free-floating biosensors that operate directly inside fermentation tanks. These sensors will continuously track microbial health and activity. The […]
Collaborative Research: Interferers in our midst
In the data-driven world that we live in, sharing digital information is a key component underpinning a vast body of technologies. Low-latency, high fidelity access to information is central to algorithms that impact how we work, are entertained, how we travel, and our healthcare. Systems that, in particular, rely on wireless communication to deliver their […]
Collaborative Research: SWIFT: Facilitating Spectrum Access by Noise Guessing
Wireless technologies play an essential role in enabling growth and prosperity in societies by supporting business, government, science and education, defense, and health sectors. The boom of connected Internet of Things (IoT) nodes and 5G wireless communications will lead to a many-fold increase in wireless data traffic. This data storm and connectivity-in-everything model will result […]
SemiSynBio-II: Hybrid Bio-Electronic Microfluidic Memory Arrays for Large Scale Testing and Remote Deployment
The ability to record events (“memory”) is a crucial part of many complex systems. Recording events allows these systems to modify their behavior based on previous interactions, report on their history, or communicate local information to a global community. Biological systems will benefit greatly from the creation of memory elements. Biological memories in bacterial or […]
Secure Bio-Engineered Sensors for Disease Management
The objective of this project is to address the limitations in our current ability to measure disease biomarkers in the gastrointestinal tract. Unable to track the levels of these molecules, we have an incomplete picture of the process of inflammation, and thus cannot evaluate disease progression or how well treatments are working. To overcome gaps […]
