[DIYbio] A Protein Based Bioelectronic Musical Instrument

Hey all,
     I am a Ph.D. student(hopefully I will have my Ph.D. in the next few months, YIKES!) in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at the University of Chicago. In my free time separate from my Ph.D. I have been working on the interaction of biologicals with electronics. My first attempt is a protein based musical instrument I have called The Chromochord. Using light one can create a two-way interaction with a photoactive protein by exciting it and measuring it's response. I have also been working with a composer, Francisco Castillo Trigueros, to develop some cool music for it. Thought you all might be interested in the project. Alot more details including videos and pictures are on the webpage below or feel free to ask me anything.

Thanks,
