Synthetic Biology and Robotics - The Integration that can Save Lives
The LIKA-CESAR BRASIL proposes the development of a biosensor for the detection of breast cancer with the help of synthetic biology and robotics. The idea was to build a robotic system linked to genetic engineering capable of processing and prepare small samples of blood in an automated manner.
For this our team, created the Coli Alert for the BreastBotSensor. This system is one robot to DNA/RNA extraction coupled by an electrochemical biosensor and linked to one quality control, the ColiAlert, responsible to confirm the process of nucleic acid extraction.
The team believes that the best way to solve problems is joining technologies. For this, we think that synthetic biology should go hand in hand with robotics and information technology. Then our project was to join the synthetic biology with the robots, aiming to fight against to the one of biggest health problems: The Breast Cancer.
