We successfully participated at the Europe Regional Jamboree

• We were able to present our project to lots of interested people and got great feedback

• We won a gold medal

• We qualified for the World Championship at the MIT (Cambridge, MA)

• And we had lots of fun

Project Achievements

• We did successfully build the foundation for cell free biosensors

• We were the first team to work with S-Layers and use them to create defined nano structures (Results)

• We provided a system to quantify NAD⁺ with a Ligase and molecular beacons (Results)

• We were able to degrade Bisphenol A (Results)

• We could show that all of our three subprojects work

• We have created several new working BioBricks (e.g. <partinfo>BBa_K525121</partinfo>, <partinfo>K525222</partinfo>, <partinfo>BBa_K525305</partinfo>, <partinfo>BBa_K525405</partinfo>, <partinfo>BBa_K525512</partinfo>, <partinfo>BBa_K525515</partinfo>, <partinfo>BBa_K525710</partinfo>)

• We showed that our BioBricks work as expected

• We could successfully characterize these BioBricks and entered the Information to the Partsregistry

• We improved the existing Bispenol A degrading BioBricks (<partinfo>BBa_K123000</partinfo>, <partinfo>BBa_K123001</partinfo>)

• We modeled our cell free biosensor system (Model)

• We organized and participated in various events to improve the iGEM outreach (Overview)

• We implemented safety considerations in our project by working on cell free systems

• We got a lot of attention in Germany shown by press reports and invitations to various events

• We were able to manage the project on our own from the sketchbook to the final project

• We managed to completely finance our project through sponsoring Sponsors)
