Our Lab Book

Blue light source

We have devised a simple method to create your own light source from cheap, readily accessible materials, that can be customised for light intensity and pulse frequency - with minimal prior knowledge of electric circuits or experience with building them.

Photobioreactor

Addressing the industrial aspect of our, we investigated options for potential bioreactors for bulk synthesis of our target material - NAD.

FRET Tests

As a proof of principle for the expressability and association of the CRY2-CIB1 optogenetic system, we sought to conduct a fluorescence assay based upon the Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) phenomenon.

Solubility Tests

Faced with a

Lab Notes

A documentation of experiments we have run from the beginning to the end of our project.

Biosafety

Safe use of genetically engineered machines involves physical containment, safe practices as well as biocontainment methods to prevent escape, survival and proliferation of engineered microorganisms in natural environments.
