• Week 7 Lab: Neuromorphic Circuits

  Overview In this lab, we designed two neuromorphic genetic circuits using the HTGAA 2026 Genetic Circuit Design Template and simulated their behavior using the Biocompiler-Predict tool. Both circuits are built from endoribonuclease-based sequestrons — the fundamental building blocks of intracellular artificial neural networks (IANNs) — and are intended for transfection into HEK293 cells via Lipofectamine 3000 and execution by an OT-2 liquid handling robot.
