Cell-Free: Applications

Our Design

To get around the problem of having bacteria in contact with food or medical devices in the applications of Infector Detector and Cell by Date respectively, we aimed to express reporter DNA constructs within a CFS consisting of E. coli cell extract in bulk solution. In parallel, we investigated and attempted to optimize conditions for phospholipid vesicle formation. Future work on our project would then involve combining the two, so that protein expression is achieved inside vesicles that have prolonged chassis lifespan.
