Gut-on-Chip

To demonstrate a functional prototype of our project, we decided to show our system working under real-world conditions simulated in the lab using a Gut-on-a-Chip design similar to the one described in:

The idea is to model the rate at which our genetically engineered bacterial culture (E. Coli Nissle) grows and colonizes the gut, and to characterize its expression of 5-HTP, a serotonin precursor that acts as an anti-depressant, in the device. Dr. Chiang, from UCL’s very own Microfluidics Lab, has already drawn up the 3d design described in the attachment using SolidWorks.
