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 immobilize functionalized S-Layers and use them to create defined nano structures (Results)
We provided a system to quantify NAD+ highly sensitive and selective with a Ligase and molecular beacons (Results)
We were able to degrade Bisphenol A fast and selective in E. coli (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 established a versatile NAD+ bioassay for future iGEM teams
We provided a nanobiotechnological toolkit for the iGEM community
We modeled our cell free biosensor system and could show a correlation between BPA degradation and signal output (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)
