Microbial Design Studio: 30-day Simit Diet / Karen Hogan (US), Mike Hogan (US), Orkan Telhan
Microbial Design Studio (MDS) is a desktop prototyping tool that automates the design of transgenic microorganisms. The platform replaces traditional microbiology lab equipment with a low-cost machine to allow non-specialists to grow organisms that can synthesize products such as biomaterials, food, and flavors. MDS handles all stages of microbial design from bacterial transfection to incubation, lysis, and purification. Users can work with advanced genetic techniques such as combinatorial DNA design, parametric genetic manipulation, and targeted genome editing (i.e., CRISPR/Cas9).
