Wetlab

You’re stressing me out! This year, in the wetlab, we have been designing a reporter system to detect problems in protein expression. Our system uses a visual output to allow specificity in determining which step in protein expression problems are occurring.

Modelling

Our modeling project has focused on simulating and modeling the formation of inclusion bodies, aggregates of protein within the cell. We've been exploring the factors that lead to their formation.

Community

Our human practices section focused on exploring ethical issues in synthetic biology through an ethics paper as well as a podcast focusing on a few key issues. Our outreach initiatives also allowed the iGEM students to spread knowledge about iGEM to the general public and to potential future scientists through activities such as high school presentations and participation in various research symposiums.
