Our Project
![](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/e/ed/Photogen.png)
Background
In the International Year of Light, we were inspired to investigate potential uses of light in synthetic biology (optogenetics). We describe a strategy for the use of the photosensitive protein CRY2 to increase yield in the biosynthesis of toxic metabolites.

Aims
We are taking part in the Foundational Advance track, exploring the principles and application of light-induction as an alternative to traditional chemical induction - through experimental work, literature reviews and outreach programs.
