DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThis talk introduces a class of wireless implantabl
 e sensors that integrate genetically engineered cells capable of detecting
  specific molecules for continuous monitoring. While synthetic biology ena
 bles cells to sense molecular targets\, wireless communication of this inf
 ormation remains a challenge. Electromagnetic (EM) waves at cellular-scale
  wavelengths are strongly attenuated in tissue\, necessitating centimeter-
 scale wavelengths for in-body links. Aligning cellular responses with thes
 e longer EM wavelengths enables effective interaction.\n\nIn this talk\, t
 he response of Escherichia Coli is harnessed to trigger the controlled deg
 radation of a passive microwave antenna\, which is then monitored via back
 scatter communication. This approach converts cellular activity into detec
 table EM signals\, eliminating the need for batteries or circuits. We demo
 nstrate a wireless link between a passive\, cell-based sensor in a human b
 ody phantom and an external receiver\, achieving molecular-level sensing a
 t 25 mm implant depth. Future implementations could couple bacterial respo
 nses to diverse molecular targets.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Sema Dumanli \, \n\n
