Greetings, Biotech Tribe! As part of PG Tech Week, BioX is back with two exciting editions of our Literature Discussion Sessions - a space where curiosity meets cutting-edge research, and ideas flow freely! This time, we dive into two fascinating frontiers of biotechnology: 🧫 Bacterial Biosensors – where living microbes become diagnostic tools, reshaping the future of medicine. 🧬 Genetic Logic Circuits in Yeast – where biology meets computation to create programmable cellular systems. Each session will feature a guided breakdown of a key research paper, critical discussion, and an open forum for questions, insights, and new ideas. 🔬 Session 1: Innovative applications and research advances of bacterial biosensors in medicine Explore how engineered bacteria can sense biomarkers, monitor diseases in real time, and enable personalized therapies. Dive into cutting-edge research that’s transforming diagnostics and healthcare. 🗓 Date: Thursday, 23rd Oct, 2025 ⏰ Time: 8:30 PM 📍 Venue: LT202 📄 Pre-Read: 🔗 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12055861/ ⚙️ Session 2: Genetic Logic Circuits in Yeast – CRISPR-dCas9 Based Design Discover how synthetic biology creates programmable cellular circuits in yeast using CRISPR-dCas9 and how genetic logic gates can control cellular behavior and pave the way for bio-computing innovations. 🗓 Date: Thursday, 23rd Oct, 2025 ⏰ Time: 8:30 PM 📍 Venue: LT201 📄 Pre-Read: 🔗 https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15459 Whether your passion lies in medical innovation, genetic circuits, or synthetic biology’s creative potential — these sessions are your chance to dive deep, discuss, and discover.
