As we found out in our survey last year, many people know only few things about biology and even less about synthetic biology. Therefore we developed a workshop to teach some basics of biology and synthetic biology.

Bacteria sense metals in their surrounding in order to change their expression profile or react in order to adapt and accomodate to their environment.

</div>

-
Using these sensors from (mostly) bacteria we create biosensors by linking them to the expression of a reporter (e.g. green glowing by the green fluorescent protein GFP). To not only qualify but also to quantify the metals, it is also necessary to measure the output by given input (metal concentration) for each of these biosensors. Afterwards one can determine the metal concentration by measuring the output.

+
-
The quantification needs heavy high-tech machinery ... something not always given ... especially in free field. So a qualification of metals with a easy-to-see output is also needed.
+
-
 
+
-
In the end our team hopes to have not only a set of metallsensors for precise quantification of a group of (heavy) metalls, but also an outdoor kit for qualifying metalls in more remote areas. With these it might be more easy and cheaper to determine the content of metals in our drinking water. </div>

Workshops about Synthetic Biology


During the last years surveys were a common part of human practice. Mostly they dealt with the knowledge about synthetic biology or molecular biology in general. Results suggest that many concerns that people have are due to their ignorance. To provide consolidated knowledge we designed a workshop that can be worked trough in one afternoon.

More information about our workshops can be found here!

School Project


Since 2010, students of secondary schools (Gymnasium) in Bavaria have a new course during their two last school years. This course includes cooperations with external partners.
Our aim is to cooperate with schools in Munich in order establish Synthetic Biology as one of the possible electives.

More information about our school project can be found here.
