Automated Adaptive Directed Evolution Chamber (AADEC)
Maker Faire Bay Area 2015
The Automated Adaptive Directed Evolution Chamber (AADEC) evolves microorganisms in a user defined way and is automatic! This device can be used to make organisms resistant to a certain type of light, chemical, medicine or environment (like outer spa
What inspired you to make this project?:
We wanted to look at new way of approaching directed evolution, which is powerful and useful. We also wanted to improve the labor and time intensive biology protocols with an automated system. We were interested in bioengineering and looking at life in a space-like environment.
