Project Summary

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.

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. The system is able to detect very small concentrations of AHL, and outputs a fluorescent protein as a result.

Sub Project - Cell by Date

Cell by Date will tell you when meat has been out of the fridge for too long. It produces fluorescent protein when it is found in an ambient temperature above a threshold of 10°C. The fluorescent protein accumulates over time, and eventually becomes visible to the naked eye once the system has been exposed to high temperatures for enough time.
