Our project is called Opticoli and combines optics with genetic engineering. First, bacteria will be modified so that they can function as biological lasers. Second, bacteria will be enabled to produce fully biological, lightweight microlenses.

Creating these bacteria will be the first step towards increased imaging resolution in both single cell imaging and multicellular community imaging. As the production of fully biological lenses is not yet seen in science, or anywhere else, this project is highly innovative. Our aim is to produce lenses that are sustainable, lightweight, and more accessible. Our project will also promote open source and DIY biotechnology through our website and the materials will be created in a simple, inexpensive and environmentally friendly manner.
