P4= Protein Products Pichia Plants


Our Project

Protein Products from Plants and Pichia: Novel Manufacturing of Analgesics and Cannabinoids
 Cannabinoids and opiates are widely used classes of pharmaceuticals; unfortunately, these drugs have strong psychoactive effects or can be addictive. Our project consists of two ideas, both revolving around utilizing bioengineered microorganisms to create non-psychoactive cannabinoids and non-addictive analgesics. To achieve this we developed two projects: (1) Manufacturing a protein expression system to produce CBDA synthase in tobacco plants using agrobacterium, (2) Engineering the pGAPα vector system to express the mambalgin in Pichia Pastoris as a continuation of the 2014 GSU iGEM project. Simultaneously, we developed a proof of concept using horseradish peroxidase. By the end of this project we hope to have produced a synthetic biological system to manufacture pharmaceutical alternatives for patients that suffer from diseases such as epilepsy, cancer, or chronic severe pain.

Aliens, dinosaurs, or robots. Which would you choose to be raised by and why?
Aliens. I would be able to explore the vast universe one planet at a time and learn about their way-of-life.

What do you like about iGEM?
Students work on their project based on their interests and learn design and research skills that are hard to acquire as undergrads.

If you could solve any global problem what would it be?
World hunger.
