Plasmid Designs
We worked on designing and constructing several plasmids this summer. We will shortly put up a list of how far we got with each of them over the course of the summer, and what work remains to be done.
Experiments
Princeton iGEM Utility Belt
As part of the project, we have started work on two novel combinations of biology and electrical engineering.
Surface Patterning
It has been shown that plating neurons in a specific pattern gives the emerging networks special properties, which are determined by those patterns. Also, the growth of these networks is strongly influenced by the patterns they are allowed to grow in. Therefore, by patterning the surfaces that neurons grow on, we can direct specific network connections. This is at the heart of the architecture of the toggle switch.
