Death Galaxy
The Death Galaxy is amicrochip device withinterconnected wellsand gradient
Mimics heterogeneousmicroenvironments
Can result in rapid evolution
Evolutionary Dynamic Principles Stress gradient and microenvironments
should yield rapid evolution
Low stress allows reproduction
Mutated cells climb the gradient
Small population size in wells allows faster fixation
Next Steps Begin UV and Bump array testing Run several death galaxies
simultaneously Attempt to evolve bacteria/algae to
thrive in different conditions
Conclusion Gained many skills through this
experience Ongoing research Better understanding of evolutionary
dynamics, and fluid mechanics
