Using tissue engineering and calcium detection techniques, I designed an experimental 3T3 cell strain that expressed a non-native light-sensitive G protein coupled receptor. Once activated by light, the cell strain would undergo a biochemical change in gene expression in order to preferentially activate protein production. This cell strain expressing the protein of interest would ideally be used in photo-bioreactors to create protein products with the flip of a light switch.General: Cell/bacterial culture, tissue engineering, PCR, techniques for DNA/RNA extraction, calcium imaging, quantification with fluorescent activated cell sorter
