Achievements
Here is a summary of the achievements of the Imperial College 2009 team. For more information about each achievement, please click on the links:
BioBricks
- Submitted 20 documented parts to the Registry.
- Improved the characterisation of the [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K200022 BBa_K098995 thermosensitive promoter] by successfully testing with GFP.
- 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.
Engineering
- Explored the Manufacturing Considerations that we thought important to manufacture The E.ncapsulator as a viable product.
- Came up with a novel engineering technique of integrating our 3 modules.
Ethics
- Explored the current Ethical Issues in Synthetic Biology, as well as those specific to our project.
- Took part in the Valencia ethics survey, and became the first team to win the Valencia Ethics gold medal.
- Investigated the safety implications of the project as a whole.
Others
- Helped the iGEM newcomers UCL by sending them a plate of Registry DNA kit plate from 2007.
