  • Submitted 20 documented parts to the Registry

  • Submitted new coding regions for 2 enzymes, [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K200008 PAH] and [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K200007 cellulase], as well as a pentapeptide, [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K200013 opiorphin].
  • Designed new BioBricks using those genes coding for encapsulation of the cell.
  • Functional BioBrick [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K200022 BBa_K200022] characterised, and results uploaded onto registry page.
  • Explored the current Ethical Issues in Synthetic Biology, as well as those specific to our project.
  • Helped the iGEM newcomers UCL by sending them a plate of Registry DNA kit plate from 2007.
  • Took part in the Valencia ethics survey, and became the first team to win the Valencia Ethics gold medal.
