It took only 24 years for the gaming world to grow from cel-shaded graphics to cell-shaded graphics.
😂😂😂
I love it.
That is a smart comment 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Flawless comment lol.
What Plattform you playing on?
Me: Ecoli bacteria
We got doom on bacteria before gta 6
Hopefully its cross compatible 😂
If you watch carefully, they only displayed it on bacteria, they really didn't play it on bacteria. A computer was still running the program.
@@brandonc3032Yeah. It’s still pretty cool to use bacteria as essentially a screen for a game though.
platform are*
then way you describe running Doom on literal living cells as "peak human engineering" is just gold. It's amazing how much this game has pushed science forward in the most unintentional ways
Actually it hasn't pushed science forward
@@Capivara_Studios yeah, it hasn't pushed science forward because it actually has *_THROWED SCIENCE AT 66.6% OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT FORWARD, DOOM IS AWESOME BABY, HELL YEAH_*
The veridic and reliable source of this information is that it was revealed to me in a dream.
@@Catto_Ninja sabe muito
She is not running anything dude, is Just using Cells to produce light. Theres no interaction whatsoever. This vídeo is the epítome of bullshit.

Ever since homo-sapiens first observed the passage of time, becoming aware of their own perspective, metacognition has injected into the human experience the undying need to philosophize. While many wars fought, artistic expressions, and scientific discoveries have been inspired by the underlying principles held by myriad schools of philosophical thought, only one question has become so ubiquitous that it is asked by members of every race and creed:
WILL IT RUN DOOM?
Man this is so well put! Cheers!!
And if it can't run doom, then it instead MUST play bad apple-
Girl, this is your mad scientist moment
This is the first time I think I’ve ever heard someone spell it out rather than say “M-S Doss”. I feel old.
Me too since I did tech support when it came out. Gave me a giggle.
Doom came out before I was born, I'm 30 :P
Also I.D. Software
I heard that and all my hair turned gray.
Same.
What a fucking power move of a final project, good lord, fantastic job
Yep, this will blow up. Good luck on the project, see you all in 600 years
Kinda doubt it ngl, the video is badly made with changing background noise

@@matheuscabral9618 Deep thoughts. Great critical thinking! -_-
I feel like we ought to start a distinction between "Can it run DOOM?" and "Can it _display_ DOOM?" You could compress any framebuffer to the limitations of this cell display and have them display it - the game's code itself isn't running on cells.
Still, this is rad.
Well that just means an opportunity to display bad apple on it
Now now, technically you can play doom on this, you just gotta wait a really long time
Yeah, mainstream articles on these "Can it run Doom" can be misleading or not explaining the whole story. Without watching this video I would have imagined the whole game code running on bacteria (which I guess would be nearly impossible?).
Yeah, I came to this video curious about how the doom code would actually be running on the bacteria. Still cool though
Also, it doesn't have to be DOOM, you could display any frame from any game in this matter.
People in 2077: What graphic cells are you playing on?
bro btw why does she have a sword in her ear?
Cause it looks cool.
@@LavenderCat175
@@almessasorrow4950 okay? I guess...
@@LavenderCat175 rephrasing because that might have come out like I was trying to be aggressive(I wasn't)it's a ear ring. Some people wear diamonds or gold,some people wear swords.
@@almessasorrow4950 No bro I mean, I never actually saw someone with a sword in her ear, and honestly, if she's okay with that then no problem! I was just a curious cat. (And don't worry you weren't agressive at all)
Its incredibe how this was just posted recently and yet somehow has the feel of a 2010s youtube video.
Great work. Taking academia not so seriously yielded something seriously interesting.
If I understand the writeup correctly this is a method to turn on/light single pixels/wells by adding AHL. The image is created by having a grid of E. Coli wells and manually adding or not adding AHL to each one. This is a cool project, but I feel like calling it "Running Doom on cells" might be overstating it a bit. If I took 1536 tea candles, arranged them in a 32x48 grid and lit some of them by hand to display a black and white frame of Doom, would I be running Doom on tea candles? I'm not sure. I feel like the candles would not be doing a lot of the "running" part in that case.
Makes me think of when the pregnancy test is touted by people, but it wasn't running Doom by itself, a separate machine was, the pregnancy test was used only for its little digital display.
Yeah, it's more like "using bacterias to display doom"
Still cool af, but different
with enough research you could code doom into DNA and make the E.coli display it
Hell he even moded his on display into it
Wait a minute!! Isn't the plot of Doom the combination of the biology of demonds with technology?
No, that's the movie; the game is about dimensional anomalies and teleportation
That movie was BAAAAD lmao@@Frey_2026
@@kaburnicasSemper fi... Motherhumper!
Fantastic study!
Potential idea: if you modulate the timing and amount of AHL released such that it binds to less LuxR, this should - at least on paper - yield the potential for grayscale imagery.
Somewhere in a lab, a girl is running her version of "the sims" on cells, and it is us...
But, can it run Crysis?
@5:10
You could potentially get a better looking 1-bit image by applying the Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm instead of simple using thresholding.
Of course! Why didn't I think of Floyd-Seinfeld dithering in the first place?
Maybe so, but it still looks like the bacterial display has such a low res that not much details would pop up using Floyd Steinberg
the game will be interpretable as Morse-code.
She is officially a legend. A biology and gaming legend
Now doom is really running everywhere, next on a malignant tumor ;-)
hint: it's not I-D soft (just like you pronouce "idea"), but id, as in id-ego-superego. Not and "I" more like "E".
Please don't ever stop what you love doing ! You are amazing Lauren !
"I can see your MIT education really pays for itself doc"
Alright @JuanGamer0202 your turn.
Love the video, love the crazy cut from basic introduction to molecular biotec, they speaking to camera gone wrong, everything. It feels like oldschool TH-cam were people shared genuinely interesting content without fancy video making.
They? There's only one person in the video.
They who
@@CimliteDid you know the word "you" is also plural, as the singular "thee" died out in colloquial usage? How woke of the Middle English speakers to change language! /s
@@rafaysyed520 A) The phasing out of "thee", "thou" and "thy" was a gradual thing, that happened over a long period of time. B) It's removal made communication _easier and more clear,_ not more confusing - as using "they" about a single person does.
So no, that was terrible example. Language changes and evolves over time, absolutely. _This isn't that._ This is simply making communication worse, more obtuse and flat out annoying.
@@Cimlite How do you describe a person whose gender you don't know in a typical conversation? Say someone (a stranger) is supposed to come over tomorrow to look at your house. There's only one person, yet you'd say "Someone is coming to look at the house tomorrow. THEY will be here at 3". The plural signifies an unknown gender. This exists in countless languages besides English. Nothing about the usage of "they" here was more confusing, as we all understood what was meant by it. Intentionally playing dumb about there not being multiple people is not an argument for confusion. It's just disingenuous.
So we should set this up in a museum and have it run for 600 years, so we can finally play Doom on cells
You wait until her great, great, great grandchild totally shits the bed in a firefight and sets us back a generation.
You can't actually play it, though. It's just displaying frames from Doom, so you're essentially watching a slideshow, not playing a game. What she's saying is that it would take 600 years to play the whole slideshow.
It's still a neat accomplishment, but it's misleading, as she didn't actually accomplish the stated goal of "running Doom." Each image barely even resembles the game. She should've went with the first idea of teaching neurons to play Doom. That way, it would be an actual game that's being played.
E. coli: Lord, what is the meaning of my life?

2029: Running Doom on my brain and displaying it on my optical nerves.
You are gonna be the next thought emporium, playing doom on a literal disease? Cmoooon, that's awesome.
Make this in a context for entertainment as opposed to a final project and you've got a *smash* hit. I'm gonna keep an eye on this channel for sure.
Playing doom as the immunity system
Next up playing doom on a cancer tumor
Doom minimum requirements: have cells
buuuuuuut... can it run crysis?
JOE MAMA
Rule 93: If it exists, you can play DOOM on it. No exceptions
Now we just need to find out if we can play Bad Apple!! on cells
Let's play Cells on cells.
I love that we have people like you in the world. Keep it up and good luck to you in the future.
We got Doom on Cholera before GTA 6😭😭😭
This is truly amazing work!! I wonder if there is something that would reduce the return-to-off time, that seems to be the main hurdle.. Also would it be possible to combine the blue glow from Dinoflagellates, the red from Dragonfish and the green from the one you used - that way you could get a full RBG display?!
I am in absolute awe
Nice! On 1:02 there is a little mistake at pronuncing id Software: it's not pronunced Hy Dee but Eed, id is a latin word that means “this”. 😉
So, youtube literally recommended this to me on a whim - I know nothing about biology. This is, however, awesome.
Makes me wonder how much faster it would be (if at all) if the code also took into account which cells didn't need to change in the next frame. Obviously the time would remain the same between frames, as you'd have to wait for the other cells to switch, but if you combined this with some sort of model which mashed multiple (similar) frames together, you'd probably get an even worse looking, albeit slightly faster game!
Low cost LCD displays do this unintentionally. It’s often referred to as “smearing”. It’s usually not great.
Ok, combining doom with e-coli is the coolest idea ever. This was a sooooo cool video. Thx a lot for sharing. The whole project is sooo cool and the vid reminded me how cool biology can be. That is a real masterpiece.🎉 Thx for sharing your work this way.
But you are not running Doom on cells you are watching Doom through cells, thing is unless you find a way for enough cells to interpret 1's and 0's to run a computer program then it's not technically running DOOM, what you did here it's basically a poop oled screen lol
This exactly.
should've been Bad Apple instead of Doom
My god what a nerd. Do it yourself then
Ok but hear me out - this would be great for TAS runs. Afaik, TAS runs commonly just slow the game down a lot soo...
WTF IS MIT ON ABOUT?!?!?!??! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Is it possible if the On/off signal on which the florescent starts glowing is done late/intermittently so it can produce shades of grey instead of just black or white?
This is awesome! Also I've never heard DOS pronounced "M. S. Dee Oh Ess" before. 😁
TH-cams algorithm actually worked. Showing a low view video that they recognize as high quality. Glad to get in on the ground floor, this video gonna blow up.
Sometimes I think I'm smart but someone does this and I'm reminded I am very much not.
Now we can truly say the game has gone viral
Sorry m8 still cant. You're in between nerds. Ecoli is bacteria, not virus
Almost, this is bacteria though. Not quite the same thing, but I get what you mean.
Born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the galaxy, born just in time to get a teaser trailer for Doom 1993 releasing on E. coli.
I *presume* this was probably made as like a one off, or maybe a school project, but BELIEVE me when I say that this?? This video right here... It gives me "early famous youtuber" vibes. Genuinely entertaining, just needs a little bit of refinement of style👌
I'm subbing just in case you ever decide to make content in the future
"a school project' she's literally a phd student
This is awesome. I applaud the amazing work of biological and computer engineering this took to create. Amazing work. Kudos. I hope they give you all the grades and credits they can for this.
But can we please talk about how to pronounce the names id Software and DOS? It's "id" rhymes with "kid" - not Eye Dee. And DOS is "dauce", rhymes with sauce. Not Dee Oh Ess. I know, I know, you were not alive when DOS was around. I'm not upset. I just want to help. :)
this is cool mate, always good to find more reasons to use ODE's and see some MATLAB code - what is a display anyway but a matrix?
Gotta love odes and matlab
Let's play on Covid 1984 \m/
I'm amazed, intrigued and maybe in love
wow, insane that you got Dick Wolf to executive produce for this! ;)
Did I miss the part where she plays doom on the cells?
Simulated cells
It would take too long
So, In actuality it was a failure, but you still want to brag about something that isn't physically possible. I do understand what you did was a lot of work. Still futile if you cant do the main activity of a game. Play. Click bate articles picked this up quickly, and didn't care about context.
I wish every method's section in every scientific paper included a video exactly like yours (especially the sketch-animated methods in the middle!). Please make one of these for all of the publications in your career 😆
Sooner or later we will be able to play Doom on an actaul liveing Cuttlefish by modifying its cromatophores somehow.
Trust me, its gonna happen.
LOL ren i love you also you're brilliant and this is brilliant
If her professors are seeing this, give this woman a degree already! We already give her a 10/10 here. 😂🎉
From all the bacteria E.Coli always have been the ones to annoy. Next step is to encode Doom in DNA and make cells do it themselves :D
This is hugely misleading. How can one be so superficial in describing his own project. She made a bacteria display and slowly and poorly displayed a video. Running a program is a different thing. I'm sorry that a researcher on a serious subject can be so approximative. However all that "python script" can be done in a dozen lines.
Correct me if I'm wrong, your are no running the actual game, like the game engine, your are just displaying the frames using cells right?
That's using cells to *display* Doom, but not to *run* Doom.
You need to change the title mate, but regardless this is some amazing stuff!!
This isn't for viewers like us, it's a semi-comedic college project for a biology course. Of course, the presenter has a total knack for this, and should pursue content creation, but, this isn't an attempt at that.
Cool for what it is, but Doom isn't really being "run" on cells. It is just being displayed on cells. I'm impressed by what was accomplished, but what was accomplished is disappointing compared to the claims of the video's title. Then again, the video's title ends with a question mark, so technically it is just a question and not a claim... and the answer to the question is: No.
"We are in the modern era"
God how I wish that were still true.
Am I misunderstanding? It seems like you only proposed a graphical display system, not the actual program to **run** doom.
So this is more of a "bad apple" meme rather than a "can it run DOOM" meme
You are a genius
This is how we're going to achieve FTL. We're going to ask if we can run Doom on photons and accidentally create negative mass or something.
600 years? Now to establish immortality.
The producer being Dick Wolf is a nice touch.
It's not "eye dee" software but "id" software (as in the Jungian id).
Próximo passo é fazer isso com átomos!!!
Se tu parar pra pensar, como tudo é feito de átomos, isso já foi feito
@@untilm Ok, vc tem um ótimo ponto.
Of all the acronyms you pronounced many were phonetically, however you said "M. S. D. O. S." and I don't know how to feel about it. Also the id of id Software is that of ego and id and not I.D.
marry me 💍💐
Why even bother saying this to someone. You get nothing from it and just make them uncomfortable. What did you plan on saying if you got a response. How does someone even respond to that
And now I'm in love
Amazing Lauren.
Parabéns do Brasil.
Not to be a downer but this is more displaying DOOM than playing it, which admittedly was also the case with the pregnancy test but it's still kinda cheating.
I feel Bad Apple is a much better meme for this kind of display.
Id, dear. Not I.D.
You are using bacteria as a display. So, Doom is not playing on bacteria, it is just drawing on bacteria. And no video yet, just one ininteligible frame. Exagerated claims.
Executive Producer Dick Wolf got me. That guy has a hand in everything!
You are very intelligent, I am very very impressed. You deserve college loan forgiveness for doing something important.
You are incredible, you explain complex studies as if it were a game.
I hope your research takes you very far.
Greetings from Mallorca, Spain 🙋🏻♂️😊
Nerdsniped my gf with this video, thank you 😅

Thank you for your hard work!
Groundbreaking human engineering
Ren Ramlan (absolutely bad-arse name) - you are a legend.
Take a bow, mate, you've earned it.
Btw - 600 years to play the game, sure - but how long would it take to render the first ~20sec of gameplay, enough to show a couple of enemies getting fragged in glorious E-Coli-Vision (sped up to ~30fps, naturally)?
I hope they give you a PhD on the spot for this. And the Nobel Prize for being a total GC.
(PS - hearing someone clearly old enough to be a PhD candidate and intelligent enough to get gut cells to display Doom pronounce MS-DOS "em-ess dee-oh-ess" makes me want to scream "EM-ESS DOSS, YA GODDAMNED SEPPO!!1" It's not your fault; the US education system is rarely up to MIT's standards and seems more likely to produce conspiracy theorists than literate, thoughtful people lately.)
PPS - Ren Ramlan (srsly what a great name), you are, as they say in my brilliant and beautiful land, a true bloody legend, so carry on smashing em for 6 luv. Smashing a tinny and a durrie in your honour.
You can transform it into a 8 bit per pixel system by expressing each frame (with all pixels) on 8 "plates." Brightest shade on a single pixel will be expressed on all 8/8 plates, mid shade on 4/8 plates, darkest shade on 0/8 plates, etc.
Awe hi Dr. Love, good to see you and thank you for sharing your brilliance :)
Um pequeno passo para o homem, um grande passo para a humanidade, em breve vamos poder transformar nós mesmos seres multi celulares em qualquer coisa, já que nossas células serão como os pixels e depois polígonos 😉
Is life a joke to you?
Literally an antibiotic its a bug in the game
MS DOS is pronounced Like ‘Moss’ but with a D
I love this kind of edit.
if you work a little on it, maybe you could solve some other problems
doom will be the first ever biologically living video game
Would love to play some 0.0000147 fps doom 😂
Great video, very interesting :)
You are so fucking cool, I hope you know that.
