WELCOME TO THE FRANKEL GROUP

Our mission is to re-engineer biological cells to produce controllable devices, for example to programme cells to communicate with electronics. In addition we try to mimic cellular proceses to produce novel synthetic devices such as biosensors and biomaterials. Our approach involves both understanding the physics of the cell and being able to manipulate its behaviour via genetic engineering. We work with a variety of cells including bacteria, yeast and mammalian. Our model systems include artificial membranes and proteins that interact with cells (fibronectin, integrins e.t.c.)

  1. The engineering of mamallian cells for the controlled release of nitric oxide
  2. Building a semi autonomous bio hybrid robot (Cyberplasm Project)
  3. Engineering cells to communicate with electronics
  4. Biophysical studies of cell adhesion /specific recognition for biosensor devlopment
  5. Developing new models to describe the cell membrane and how it works
