What is next?

Not all good things have to end. We present this year iGEM project at the Giant Jamboree in Boston the 24th -28th of September, but this does not mean the work on the project has to stop. We have been working within a strict time frame, but if there had not been a time limit, our project could likely have moved mountains.

Despite of all our efforts; in the lab, in the community, on the wiki and with everything else there came along, many aspects still remains unexplored. We have thourght and discussed next steps and a fare out future that could take this project to its next level.

Figure 1: PAST is the future.

To know ones limitations is beneficial, because first then and only then, can one challenge and push his own limits. Working with living organisms provides many challenges and boundaries, that we have yet to push through. In this project we are aware of these. To read more about these please go to Challenges and Limitation.

However, the challenges and laminations do not stop us, the peptide aptamer produced with our constructs have a broad range of opportunities. Besides challenging the antibodies used in science, they also show promises in a medical aspect. We have discussed some of these aspects in Medical Aspect.

What the future bring no one can tell, but hopefully PAST is going to be a part of it. The end.
