Modelling
So now the design concept has been thought out, how could we begin to fill in the details? Will our system be sensitive enough to trigger? How can we make our output mechanism as fast as possible? By applying some complicated equations, we gained modelling data that fed straight back into our design.
Assembly
Next came the lab work. A complex assembly strategy was developed, and three separate lab teams formed. Over the course of the project we developed 20 different parts. For a more technical overview of what we did and how we did it, take a look at our lab protocol and lab diary pages.
Testing
The moment of truth! For a comprehensive overview of what happened, check out our results page. TO BE FILLED.
Achievements
School Workshops
Public engagement is an essential part of research; bridging the gap between academics and the wider public can achieve so much. When discussing this aspect of synthetic biology, we realised that school students would be an interesting demographic to present the subject to. We also liked the idea of inspiring young people to learn more about synthetic biology and iGEM, so we ran a series of school workshops.
