-
We created new, synthetic promoters to respond to this disease marker
-
We characterized miRNA profiles in model cells under varying conditions
-
We characterized a serine integrase, TP901, that could give a genetic circuit memory across a cycle
Making Mammalian Synthetic Biology Accessible
Mammalian SynBio Toolkit: pDEST-mCherry and Parts Collection
We created a destination plasmid with a fluorescent protein selection marker that can be used for cloning mammalian parts. We submitted a collection of well-characterized mammalian parts to the registry, in hopes that this will help future iGEM teams work in mammalian synthetic biology.
Protocols for Mammalian SynBio
One of our team members documented many common mammalian synthetic biology protocols, and created a website to help visualize these steps.
Public Outreach & Engagement
Through both presentations and social media, we were able to share our work with a variety of audiences, from young children and their parents to experienced industry scientists, and educate the public about both synthetic biology and endometriosis. Here are some of our accomplishments:
-
Building with Biology
-
Online Articles about Endometriosis and iGEM
-
Industry Visits
