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

  •  Run through NEGEM Presentation

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  How does repressor affect the circuit?
  •  Determine final output of circuit

miRNA Sensors (Lab Work)

  •  Understand why we're doing any of these reactions
  •  Transform MAV1212 into ccdB resistance cells
    •  Grow at low temp w/ x-gal, shielded from light
  •  Pick as many colonies as possible
    •  Sequence ccdB region
  •  Find our repressors and repressible promoters in our library

 Cell Models

  •  Finish table of concentrations in each cell line
  •  Finalize siRNA transfection technique
