DESCRIPTION:Synthetic biology is often defined as the reshuffling of Nature
 ’s circuits on a genetic level but it could also involve the development o
 f synthetic receptors that are sensitive to unnatural stimuli. Over the la
 st decade\, our group has systematically explored the conversion of protei
 ns that normally respond to small molecules\, heat\, membrane tension\, or
  voltage\, into photoreceptors. We usually do this by attaching synthetic 
 photoswitches with modern bioconjugation techniques that work in vivo. Usi
 ng opioid receptors and dopamine receptors (family A)\, GLP1 receptors (fa
 mily B)\, and mGluRs (family C) as examples\, I will show how just about a
 ny receptor be converted into a photoreceptor.\n
