How it worked
Our project started late at the end of June. After an introduction to molecular and synthetic biology, the students decided on a project which would involve cell self-assembly and solving a real-world problem. The students decided to try to repair damaged heart tissue by engineering cells to differentiate and target damaged myocardium. The students split into 3 teams: Timed ES cell Self-Destruction, Differentiation, and Targeting/Cell Signaling. The students designed the overall approach of each team, and the specific circuits and oligo design themselves. Dr Mendelsohn provided useful critical input and suggestions to help guide the teams, but the teams had ultimate responsibility for the projects.
Status
Because of our late start, the Timed ES cell Self-Destruction and Differentiation teams only made modest progress. However, the Targeting/Cell Signaling team was able to continue working and have just (10/26) built the CRP signaling circuit and are very close to completing the ICAM and scFv circuits.
Thanks
RSI and the Bay Area RSI Team wish to thank the Abbott Foundation and Panorama Research for their support.
