Biological Biosensors

Engineered cells and proteins that detect and report molecular signals.


field tier

Biological Biosensors addresses engineered cells and proteins that detect and report molecular signals. As a subfield of synthetic biology, it sits within the broader biology branch of the Charted science tree and connects upward to the methodological themes of its parent area.

A more detailed frontier sourcing pass for this topic is deferred to a follow-up OpenAlex wave; the current sources include Paper-based synthetic gene networks (Pardee, 2014), each kept as a placeholder anchor for the next iteration. See the parent topic (biology/synthetic-biology) for the wider context this page will eventually slot into.
