Quantitative Analysis, Design, and Fabrication of Biosensing and Bioprocessing Devices in Living Cells

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop quantitative techniques for the de novo design and fabrication of biosensing devices in living cells. Such devices will be entirely composed of bio-molecular building blocks extracted from living organisms and re-engineered for enhanced functionality. These biosensing devices will be able to reproduce themselves, will be both far smaller and significantly cheaper than current nanoscale electronic devices, and will have the capacity for complex computations.
