Project
Inspired by the heart
We drew our inspiration from the versatility and robustness of the heart. It beats continuously over the years, rapidly adapting its pace when necessary.
2
Research
Creation of the Rhythm
Given our knowledge about heart currents, we hypothesized it would be possible to recreate a steady rhythm in a non-excitable cell using only three ion channels.
3
Application
Biosensing
Finally, we aim to influence the pace by varying concentrations of biological effectors. Our main focus is establishing a new form of therapeutic drug monitoring.
