Line of Investigation


Our main line of investigation uses unconventional computing as a means of building novel computing paradigms, such as in biology, physics and chemistry.

We are attempting to construct discrete dynamical systems capable of simulating cellular computation. Therefore, our work focuses on molecular computation. We thus have three models using cellular automata theory (you can see our original contributions [http://uncomp.uwe.ac.uk/genaro/ click here]).

Cellular automata (CA) operate over a scales ranging from the molecular level to n-dimensions and are massively parallel. Also, they are capable of supporting universal computation, self-repair and self-reproduction.

We wish contribute to the iGEM project development various protein based bio-components. We will work along three main lines: complex and reversible dynamical systems and formal languages, that support particles and multiple reactions, related to the molecular transformations.

We aim to develop CA software for a specific bio-simulation and gradually implement broader real biological scenarios.

EXPERIMENT PROPOSAL: Engineering a genetic signaling cascade to produce a green flourescence protein expression/repression system in Escherichia coli.



We study two-dimensional cellular automaton, where every cell takes states 0 and 1 and updates its state depending on sum of states of its 8 closest neighbors as follows. Cell in state 0 takes state 1 if there are exactly two neighbors in state 1, otherwise the cell remains in state 0. Cell in state 1 remains in state 1 if there are exactly seven neighbors in state 1, otherwise the cell switches to state 0. CA governed by such cell-state transition rule exhibits reaction-diffusion like pattern dynamics, so we call this Diffusion Rule.
