BIOFAB launches world's first biological design-build facility. With seed money from the National Science Foundation (NSF), bioengineers from the University of California, Berkeley, and Stanford University are ramping up efforts to characterize the thousands of control elements critical to the engineering of microbes so that eventually, researchers can mix and match these DNA parts in synthetic organisms to produce new drugs, fuels or chemicals. This is an opportunity to build a framework that will allow...

ERIC PARREN - GUT FEELING
http://www.ericparren.net/works/gut-feeling.html
Microcinematography, the synthesis of microscopy and moving image, is a combination of two sensory expansion tools and allows for the exploration of different scales of both size and time. Gut Feeling investigates the boundaries of current microcinematography by using an advanced optical microscope and by employing building blocks of the promising field of synthetic biology as the content of an audiovisual experience. For this project, E. coli bacteria were genetically modified with bio-bricks.
