  • Project Hypoxon aims to create cells capable of self-induction into the production phase, without the introduction of any chemical into the closed system. By exploiting genetically modified E.coli to respond to hypoxia, we eliminate the need of IPTG induction. A Green Fluorescent Protein would indicate that the product has theoretically been produced!

Project Hypoxon

Click Animation UCL’s Biochemical engineering department has been at the forefront of biopharmaceutical manufacture for years. Extraordinary advances in the life sciences have great potential to improve our quality of life through better medicines and a cleaner environment. Our project aims to create “independent” cells, capable of self-induction into the production phase, without the introduction of any chemical into the closed system. By exploiting genetically modified E.coli to respond to hypoxia, we eliminate the need of IPTG induction. The functioning genetic circuit would be signalled by the production of a fluorescent green dye. While the green dye can be used as a live monitoring technique for oxygen, replacing the green dye gene with pharmaceutical protein promises higher yields and more consistent batches which is a step closer to providing cheaper healthcare to everyone.
