What we do

We design

a chain of reactions which ends with in a poison

We implement

it using genetic engineering on a plasmid

We introduce

it into the bacteria in question

We control

the bacteria's lifespan by adjusting the amount of 'food' we give

We rest

because the kill switch will eliminate the bacteria at the right time

Why should you care

Genetically modified organisms (GMO)

are everywhere

food, medicines, industry...

GMOs are scary

52% of the population think Genetically Modified foods are unsafe

Uncontrolled GMO growth might harm

the environment

Our system

helps to solve these problems by controlling GMO's population

and enables GMO-based industry to control precisely

how much product

will be produced
