Abstract
This invention provides a multiscale platform for coordinating behavior using synthetic biology. The platform reduces the impact of underlying noise, making outputs more coherent and reliable at the macroscopic level. In one aspect, the invention provides a frequency-modulated biosensor, comprising a microfluidic array comprising two or more separate colonies or populations of sensing cells to grow and communicate by gas exchange, wherein the colonies or populations of sensing cells output synchronized oscillating signals.
