Long Term Goals

miRNA Profile

  •  Read literature
  •  Choose profile

Building the Cell Detector Circuit

  •  Build mathematical model
  •  Make test bed
    •  Controlled miRNA expression
    •  Constructed miRNA sensors

Mini experiments

    •  Single miRNA detector circuit

Alzheimer's Model

  •  Agree on a team wide, full Alzheimer's model

Today's Agenda

How To Please Ron/Brain

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  Troubleshoot
    •  What's the deal with the GAL4VP16?!

miRNA Sensors (Lab Work)

  •  Pick coloniesMini prep

NOTES

All of the single input sensors were verified!

1st full day with no hiccups? 

    • Experiment #4 (Take 2)
