A novel bacteriocin treatment for bovine mastitis

Cornell iGEM Logo

About Our Project

We developed our project through the eyes of dairy farmers, with whom we share the endeavor to cure bovine mastitis. By modifying the mastitis treatment and cow milking processes, we can help eradicate a disease that has evolved and resisted drugs throughout the ages.

Through our three-pronged comprehensive treatment that 1.) targets pathogens utilizing a synthetic biology approach, 2.) minimizes bacterial infection through our customizable preventative milking shell, and 3.) enables early detection with a user-friendly smartphone app for farmers, we believe we’ve done just that.

Time for mastitis to moo-ve over and out.
