Achievements

Developed an electrochemical model which simulates oxidised or reduced species being formed at and diffusing away from an electrode surface
Developed a biological model which simulates the genetic response to the concentration of oxidised and reduced species on a single cell level
Developed an integrated model and fitted it to experimental data to estimate absolute parameters of the electrogenetic system
Designed and constructed an affordable electrode array to facilitate programmable spatial using the electrogenetic device.
Developed a user-friendly phone application for remote control of patterning using the electrode array.

Generated the first aerobic electrogenetic device in E. coli
Optimised chemical conditions of the system to maximise the biological response of the electrogenetic device without significantly impacting cell viability.
Proved this electrogenetic can provide fine spatial control of gene expression using a cheap electrode set-up.
Created a library of electrogenetic parts for use in future electrogenetic project.
Assembled the electrogenetic library into X different constructs using the next-generation BASIC assembly method, which were then characterised.
Proved applications of electrogenetic devices in biocontainment and biomanifacturing.
Found evidence of a new phenazine molecule as an inducer, which was suggested to exist in prior literature.

Proved molecules in the system could be replaced with safer alternatives following experts’ concerns of the toxicity of the system.
Designed a Communinication Strategy Guide (CSG) to direct communication of our project with stakeholders
Desined an interactive app (LTAT) to foster communication of problems within a team

Collaborated with X different teams from X different countries.
Proved the part library can be used for alternative devices to electrogenetic systems with Oxford University.
Ensured comparability of the part library with multiple assembly methods with Oxford University
