High spatio-temporal resolved light-driven merging of microdroplets in microfluidic chambers

November 9, 2018

The merging of selected droplets is surfactant dependent and can be realized either by using passive or active strategies. Active fusion can be achieved through the use of external high voltage and/or a pair of micro-electrodes. The active merging of microdroplets can be realized by using light. This approach is particularly attractive since light provides flexibility and wavelength/intensity tunability and may be realized in high temporal and spatial resolution

Designing Genetic Circuit

Infographic | April 13, 2020

Near the turn of the millennium, James Collins and Stanislas Leibler independently undertook rather similar projects: design what would become synthetic biology’s seminal genetic circuits. And they came up with strikingly similar action plans—use E. coli to pair promoters with repressors that control one another’s behavior.
