Who we are





Who did what

The teams was assembled during our winter quarter. During this team we went around to classes and had weekly meeting to introduce students to synthetic biology through a series of guest lectures. During the spring students participated in brainstorming projects related to the sponsoring Faculty advisors labs (Baker, Mougous, Klavins, Sauro) and came up with the project they wanted to carry out. Over the summer students completed all of the experimental work, but worked closely with both graduate student and faculty advisors in order to plan the most pertinent experiments in order to make the most of our limited amount of time.

The Gram Positive Therapeutic

Chris Eiben, Sean Wu, Peixian Liu, David Zong, Ivan Huang, Cindy Wu, Denny_Luan expressed, purified, and characterized capD, capD_cp, and the 87 capD_cp variants.

The Gram Negative Therapeutic

Matthew Harger, Matthew Coyne, and Jesa Landis cloned and characterized the Tse2/Tsi2 locus into BioBrick parts. Laura Austin and Justin De Leon recombineered and characterized the T7 promoter into the T6SS fosmid.

New Tools

Jeff Johnson developed the WikiDust and PartsRobot software Tomas Huber BioBrick'ed the an f1 origin, lacI repressor, and lacI regulated T7 promoter. He also constructed and characterized 4 based protein expression cassette's made up of new AND old BioBricks.
