PLASWIRES

PLASWIRES (PLASmids-as-WIRES), “Engineering Multicellular Biocircuits: Programming Cell-Cell Communication Using PLASmids as WIRES” is a synthetic biology FET-Proactive European research project (Future and Emerging Technology) coordinated by LIA-UPM in which we have designed and engineered a programmable antibiotic.

PLASWIRES’ main goal: To show how to program a parallel distributed living computer using conjugative plasmids as wires between cellular processors.
