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.

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.
