Overall project
For our project we intend to create a yeast-based biosensor capable of detecting and signalling the presense of a pathogen. We intend to use directed evolution to develop a cell surface receptor capable of binding the pathogen. This receptor will then initiate a signaling cascade which will induce a change in the yeast, a color change for example. This project is important because there is a demonstrated need for cheap and effective monitoring of water-borne pathogens in the third world where traditional detection methods are not feasible.
Subprojects
To improve our odds of achieving our project we have decided to modulate our team into 3 disparate groups, each pursuing variant methods to accomplish the above goal, that is, cheap detection of water-bourne pathogens. The three methods and teams are detailed below.
If you were not present at the June 10th meeting, pick a group and contact the members.
Antibody GPCR Fusion
Antibody Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Fusion
Bimolecular Fluoresence
