Project Overview

Our ViroTerminator is made Safe for the bloodstream. When it is injected into the bloodstream, our ViroTerminator passively lies around in the blood stream letting viruses attach to it by using its 4 receptors: CD4 (for HIV), Integrin (for various viruses), Sialic Acid (for Influenza), Antibodies (specific chosen viruses). After enough viruses atttach to it, or after a certain amount of time elapses, it removes itself from the bloodstream by calling macrophages to eat it up.

Sales Pitch

ViroTerminator

Want to be virus-free[1]? Our ViroTerminator destroys viruses ranging from short-term viruses such as the flu, to long term viruses such as HIV. Buy our ViroTerminator today!

Small print:
[1] Free as in free beer. Free from viruses that the ViroTerminator is designed to act upon.

Design

Our design was split into 4 parts:

  • Making our machine safe
  • Attaching receptors to catch the virus
  • Signal Transduction after viruses attach
  • Removal of the ViroTerminator itself and the virus

Delegation

Our subteams for experimentation and research were split in this manner:

  • Safe E. coli: Making our machine safe.
  • Cellular receptors
    • CD4 (HIV)
    • Integrin (various)
    • Sialic Acid (Influenza)
    • Antibodies (specific)
  • Signal Transduction
  • Removal
  • Testing
