In an interesting and informative Justin Gallivan keynote, the speaker designates the multitude of functions that can be performed by engineering bacteria to behave in a controlled way.
As a chemist at the Emory University, the lecturer studies different ways to program bacterial cultures to perform certain beneficial tasks. This research acts as the crux of his speech wherein he describes the impressive nature of the bacterial organism. These molecules can self-replicate, communicate amongst themselves, create structures and coordinate their movements based on flocking toward ideal conditions and away from harmful ones.
It is these characteristics that allow scientists to be able to alter the bacteria's genetic structure and effectively guide them into behaving a certain way which can ultimately provide for beneficial functionality.
