Workflows

Jannetta developed an e-Science Approach to Synthetic Biology with a focus on workflows. She proposed a new standard for a RESTful API which facilitates the discovery and publication of models of functional biological units. The RFC has been submitted to the BioBrick Foundation as BBF RFC 66.

T-shirt Design

The design was formed by Younus, Jannetta and Harsh and the whole team approved the deisgn for the current t-shirt.

Poster Design

The design was put forward by Younus and Rachel and the whole team approved the design.

Instructors and Advisors

Our Instructos and Advisors have provided us with their invaluable help and guidance throughout the span of the project.

1. Dr Wendy Smith gave us introductory lab session and taught us about the lab safety.
2. Prof Colin Harwood suggested the antisense RNA approach for the SR1 BioBrick Part.
3. Dr Colin Davie provided advise and access to the Civil Engineering labs to prepare and crack concrete.
4. Goksel provided help and expertise with modeling.

Details of this work can be found on the Solution, Modelling and Lab book pages. This work is unrelated to the work done by the labs of our instructors and advisors.
