Engineered Biology for Underwater & Ground Sensors

By Draper

In partnership with DARPA, Draper leads a diverse team to develop an interactive platform for designing microbe-based sense-and-respond devices for monitoring Department of Defense environments. DARPA’s new Tellus program aims to identify the chemical and physical signals microbial devices can detect, their environmental tolerances, and the types of output signals they can generate. Tellus focuses on creating agile, robust, reliable, and durable microbial sensors for environmental monitoring.
