Team:Bielefeld-Germany/Achievements
From 2011.igem.org
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
- We provided a system to quantify NAD+ with a Ligase and molecular beacons
- We were able to degrade Bisphenol A
- 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
- We organized and participated in various events to improve the iGEM outreach
- 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
