Brainstorming

 * Kiril -> biofuels -> photosynthesising bacteria + fuel creating ones (biofilm)

Problems: - too many steps to device? -can have those bacteria in labs?

Possible imporvements: + add quorum sensing feedback loop


 * Nick -> TV screen

Make improvements on previous projects: turn b/w into RGB


 * Harriet -> rhyzobium bacteria


 * Ben -> logic gate

There are gates made already. The challange would be to put them together.

Inputs/outputs: sugars or proteins

(maybe achieve that by loaclizing the output into specific part of cell)
 * Madeline -> amplifying outputs, increase speed of expression


 * Kiril -> health status of cells is fed back to human by some kinda stimuli.


 * Ben -> oscillator (done before) - interface it with something to make a useful system

eg.: use it for trigerring cell cycles


 * Biological wire

Ideas we're taking further

 * Water sanitation and cell population control


 * Cell state indicators and logic gates


 * Cell population control


 * Rapid response Module
 * Fusion Ab Receptor
 * Detection of contaminants and pathogens
 * Output ideas
