DESCRIPTION:Prof. Maerkl\, Prof. Deplancke\, Dr. Barbara Grisoni\, and an 
 interdisciplinary team of 14 undergrads (from Life Sciences\, Microenginee
 ring\, Physics\, Computer Science)\nThe 2014 EPFL iGEM team has been worki
 ng on showing that biologically engineered organisms can detect and proces
 s signals quickly and efficiently. With this in mind\, our team brought fo
 rward a novel idea: combining Protein Complementation techniques with bios
 ensors to achieve fast spatiotemporal analysis of bacterial response to st
 imuli.\nAs a proof-of-concept\, we aimed to develop the first BioPad: a bi
 ological TouchPad made of touch- responsive bacteria in a microfluidic chi
 p allowing the control of electronic devices. This was achieved by enginee
 ring the E.Coli Cpx Pathway– a two- component regulatory system that is 
 responsive to periplasmic stress.
