Awards

Bronze

Register and Attend:

We have registered and will attend the Jamboree on 27th October 2016.

Deliverables:

Our parts were sent off to iGEM HQ on the 11th of October 2016.

Attribution:

We created an "Attributions and Acknowledgments page" for students, supervisors and advisors throughout.

Part/Contribution

We submitted and further characterised KillerRed (BBa_K1184002).

We submitted KillerOrange phototoxic protein kill switch and provided extensive characterisation (BBa_K1184000).

We designed a codon optimised Lysozyme C Biobrick which targets the enzyme to the periplasm where it is most effective. (BBa_K1184004)

Silver

Validate part/validated contribution

We created an education board game (BioMech) developed, using feedback from two schools and two science fairs, with the latest version sent off to schools across the country for further testing.

We validated the effectiveness of our new part KillerOrange as a kill switch by conducting CFU experiments. The outcome of which are found on our results section.

We provided further characterisation of the leakiness of the T7 promoter for our collaboration with Glasgow.

Collaboration

Collaborations page

We performed a thermal conductivity experiment for the iGEM team from Newcastle University.

Contributed to the iGEM.tech database for the iGEM team from Purdue.

We aided Edinburgh iGEM through optimising methods of data mutation detection in BabbleBlocks.

Human Practices

We performed research on equality and diversity in science, using the University of Exeter as a case study.

We have created and tested an educational board game aimed at people between ages of 14-18, teaching the fundamental principles of synthetic biology in an engaging way.

We have engaged the public with synthetic biology on multiple fronts:
- Desert Island...Science? podcast - interviewing academics, researchers and public figures about synthetic biology, public engagement, education and their research. This has been published on Youtube, Soundcloud, our wiki and shared across social media.
- Interviews with prominent academics, like Prof. Richard Dawkins and Prof. Richard Titball about their thoughts on public engagement and the importance of Biosafety, respectively.
- We hosted a panel discussion on equality and diversity at the university creating a two way conversation with the public on the topic.

We designed a synthetic biology module for second year Bioscience students.

We hosted three separate work experience students, who gave direct input on how to improve both lab and human practices aspects of our project.

We attended the Westminster UK iGEM meet-up and communicated with various teams via skype throughout the process.

Gold

Dedicated human practices gold award page here

All of the information below can be found on the Integrated Human Practices page

The effectiveness of kill switches was discussed with academics and individuals in industry to inform our experiments. We then tested what was discussed and designed parts to address the major concerns.

Outreach integration -
- We took a different approach to integrated Human Practices by integrating the Equality and Diversity work into itself - each interview influenced the next forming a grounded analysis of the issue.
- Our board game; BioMech, integrates the principles of our lab work - biosafety and effective plasmid construction - into a fun and engaging educational tool.

We have provided a framework for the implementation of a Synthetic Biology Module at our University in order to provide a better understanding of the field to fill the gap in knowledge we found during our human practices.

Improve a previous part or project:

We have further characterised KillerRed by testing it under a wider range of conditions and quantified the length of time for it to remain viable as a kill switch.

We have improved Lysozyme C by adding a signal peptide targeting it to the periplasm where it is most effective.

Proof of concept

We used a ministat array to test the longevity of kill switches and to simulate their real world application in an industrial chemostat setting.

Demonstrate your work:

We are bringing the latest version of our board game (BioMech) to the Jamboree, demonstrating its gameplay and highlighting how we implemented feedback from schools and science fairs.
