Project Overview

Our contribution to the synthetic biology community this year will be the investigation of Cell-Free Chassis, the common platform on which Cell By Date and Infector Detector will be built.

Our Achievements

  • Investigated and characterised the in-vitro chassis
  • Designed and modelled a device to detect biofilms and potentially prevent diseases like MRSA
  • Characterised Infector Detector in terms of various AHL concentrations, at room temperature
  • Designed and modelled a device to indicate spoilage of meat/break in the cold chain via the thermal history of the system
  • Characterised the pTet-GFP and pT7-GFP construct in-vitro

Main Project - Infector Detector

Infector Detector is a system that will detect the presence of biofilm infections on urinary catheters by reporting on the presence of AHL, a signalling molecule used by E.coli, and output a fluorescent protein as a result. (more...)

Sub Project - Cell by Date

Cell by Date will report when beef has been out of the fridge for too long. It produces fluorescent proteins at ambient temperatures above 8°C. (more...)
