SynBERC:Devices

back to SynBERC on OWW

This is a draft list of research topics that the SynBERC Device Thrust is considering for support.
Please contribute & edit with impunity.
We need to get the set of topics correct and then organize ourselves (and anybody else who wants) around getting the work done.

Device Families

1. Specification of Gene Expression Devices
2. Specification of Post-Translational Devices
3. Specification of Biosynthetic Devices
4. Specification of Sensing, Actuating, and Signaling Devices

Device Models

For each device family...

1. Signal levels & timing
2. Second-generation devices
   1. What would be a good historical examples of device architecture progressions?

Testbed Devices

1. Tumor Destroying Bacterium Devices
2. Microbial Drug Factory Devices

Device Characterization, Screening & Tuning

1. Test Constructs for Characterization
2. Models that Support Data Analysis
3. Scaleable Screening & Selection Platforms
4. Chasses supporting device selection & analysis
