Pretty soon, these handy bacteria may remember you too, now that Rice synthetic biologists have won National Science Foundation support to modify living cells to act as memory-storage devices. The agency will send $1.5 million to Rice for research by principal investigator Jonathan Silberg, the Stewart Memorial Professor of Biochemistry, and his colleagues to make the equivalent of read-write-erase memories commonly found in computers and other devices.
