1 Spatial patterning and hardwired memory: engineering biomolecules as cellular input / output devices Yuki Kimura, Jack Lee, Helen Lee, Kristy Hawkins, Travis Bayer Professor Christina D. Smolke Department of Chemical Engineering California Institute of Technology March 12, 2006
2 Project goal: biological memory and spatial patterning systems Memory and spatial patterning are key cellular behaviors Design-oriented approach to construct and characterize a synthetic biological circuit that will integrate spatial addressing with signal input Selective recombination is needed for multi-dimensional hardwired memory in cells New molecules that can function as programmable input / output devices are needed for advanced cellular engineering applications
3 Project goal: biological memory and spatial patterning systems Shine image on lawn of bacteria Replica plate or recovery from a single cell (same gradient) AND gate for light and spatial address Replica plate or recovery from a single cell (w/o gradient)
