Human Practice

The goals of our outreach are to awake the public awareness, start public discussions and participate in the outreach about iGEM. Also we want to promote the open source principle behind iGEM, arouse interest and hopefully prevented fear when facing the principles of synthetic biology. Therefore we organized and participated in various events. Check out our Human Practices section for more information.

Furthermore we provided a guide to do it yourself nanobiotechnology for fellow scientists, with detailed step by step instructions.

Achievments

With the BioBricks submitted by our team we enable a fast and selective BPA degradation in E.coli, a highly sensitive and selective NAD⁺ detection that facilitates a versatile NAD⁺ bioassay for future iGEM teams and the immobilization of S-layer fusion proteins, which implies the use of our S-layer proteins as nanobiotechnological building blocks.

As our approach is cell-free we can guarantee a high biosafety of our biosensor and were able to create a rather simple model for the BPA detection.
