Our Project

Project Overview

Our quest to genetically engineer Bacillus subtilis to take up, detect and ultimately sequester the heavy metal cadmium is both an exciting and complex operation. Read this article to learn more about the biological systems which can make this project work.

Lab Work

Read this section as we try and prove the underlying concepts to our project in lab experiments.
