Two teams of Oxford University researchers led by Professors Judith Armitage and David Stuart have made the first steps towards being able to engineer a bacterial cell that can sense and respond to novel environmental cues. The groups demonstrated that it should be possible to design synthetic signalling circuits inside a cell, ultimately enabling the development of new biosensors.
