BRINGING CONTROL TO THETHIRD DIMENSION
Proof of concept - 3D printer:
by creating a printer, it is a clear and easily quantified way to validate our 3D controls.
It also allowed us to engineer biomaterials that would be compatible and useful in
biotech. We also optimised production by creating local concnetrations of enzymes in
the RNA organelles.
By creating logic circuits with photo sensitive proteins, we control and study cells in 3D.
Biomaterials
Three different biomaterials with differing/distinct properties were developed on: Calcium Carbonate, Polysilicate and P3HB. Each material has unique properties and differing applications, allowing for a broad spectrum of fields that the 3D printer belongs to.
Light control
Optogenetics allows fully reversible control of gene expression in both time and space. Both photosensory transmembrane proteins as well as photoswitchable protein caging were developed to expand the existing library of optogenetic tools.
