Achievements
- Using synthetic biology, our team have designed a way to treat Wilson’s Disease as an alternative to current treatments, which have problems associated with their cost and side-effects.
- During our project we added 13 new BioBrick parts to the iGEM registry. Check our parts page for more information.
- We investigated several different promoters five different promoter and two different copper chelators with the aim of finding the most effective system.
- We successfully designed composite parts with a copper chelator under control of a copper-sensitive promoter. pCopA MymT sfGFP with constitutively expressed CueR works as expected. Check out our results page for more information.
- Discussions with the wider community played a major role in our project. We spoke to doctors and patients about Wilson’s Disease and used their feedback to guide our project. Check out our integrated human practises page for more information.
