<p>This project started as we had the idea to value bioluminescence as another process than tagging or imaging. We noticed that bioluminescence seemed underestimated in the competition, which ancouraged us to find a project using it in a very innovative way.</p> | <p>This project started as we had the idea to value bioluminescence as another process than tagging or imaging.

As a french team, we were very sensitive to this event and the issue of constantly increasing pollution levels. We thus decided to focus on the creation of our drone transporting bacteria that would be able to detect and measure air pollution levels.</p> |

+ | <p> Though our project aims to realise a lot in a short period of time, we have objectives that would develop further our project Quantifly :</p> | ||
+ | <ul> | ||
+ | <li>We wish to compare our measurement results with already existing results gathered with different methods, in order to evaluate our biosensor efficieny</li> | ||
+ | <li>We want to optimize our bacteria by enhancing the bioluminescence signal emitted by the cell</li> | ||
+ | <li> Also, we aim to develop metabolic pathways in order to add a degradation ability to the cell in complement of detecting and measuring pollutant levels in the air.</li> | ||
+ | <li>Last but not least, we want to popularize even more synthetic biology by participating in other science conferences during all the year 2016.</li> | ||
