Cell-free Sticks - It works on paper.
Our project
Our team decided to establish cell-free systems ("cell-free protein synthesis" and "plasmid repressor interaction assay"). For demonstrating the extensibility of our systems we worked with biosensors for heavy metals and we construct a new biosensor for date rape drugs. See what we are doing this year.
Our results
Our aim is to establish a universally usable and cell-free biosensor. Take a look how we achieved our goal successfully.
Our team
We are ten master students studying molecular biotechnology, genome-based system biology and molecular cell biology. Curious who we are? Get to know us better!
Human practices projects
A project is not only lab work. As scientists we need to take responsiblity of what we published and how we appear in public. Among other things we did a dual use essay as we want iGEM to be more aware of biosecurity. Read how iGEM can be a role model for dual use issues.
Modeling
Biosafety
Our systems should be cell-free. We confirmed through experiments and experts that our systems contained no genetically modified organisms and are safe to use. Let's see what we've done.
