This project investigates how unicellular organisms sense their environment and control their movement without a nervous system. It combines physiological experiments with theoretical modeling to explore the mechanisms behind their behavior and develop new methods for studying these organisms.
Even unicellular organisms have a sense of self -- that basal recognition of where their own membranous boundaries end, and where the extracellular environment in which they inhabit begins.
Yet unlike the cells in your body, these primitive lifeforms can reproduce, and exist autonomously, most importantly, they can respond to stimuli, and change their behaviour accordingly.
