                With the dawn of synthetic biology and the ever increasing utilization of microfluidics
 
                in experimental practice a new understanding of single-cell biology has emerged. We now
 
                realize a lot more of the inner mechanisms that regulate individual cells.
 
 
                Our team aims to make the detection of carbon, phosphate and nitrogen starvation in
 
                cultured cells easier and faster. In order to accomplish this we will insert different
 
                fluorescent protein genes in a bacterial plasmid. Those will be expressed together
 
                with Escherichia coli’s starvation genes and this way we will observe light
 
                in different parts of the spectrum according to the needs of the cell culture.
 
                After stimulating the transformed cells the fluorescence will be detected through
 
                signal monitoring system. The data will be used to visualize the level of expression
 
                i.e. the phase of starvation.
 
 
                We want to make a cell culture that is cheap, easy to cultivate and that shows us
 
                exactly what it lacks in its environment. If we are successful this approach could
 
                be used in many different fields including pharmacy, bio-engineering, improving the
 
                efficiency of bioreactors in general and many more. We have our strains and successfully
 
                made our first electroporation.

  • Nothing can stop us

    nothing can stop us

    The participation in the competition iGEM is making us the first Bulgarian team, and that's why this cause is so important for us. Our responsibility is even greater and our desire to succeed and achieving it - more secure.

  • Puzzel

    we solve problems together


    We solve all the difficulties together because we are one real team.


  • Bulb

    we work with passion

    Our love in biology is the unifying force that brought together people with different professions, personalities, interests. The passion for science is the reason we all fight together for the realisation of the ultimate goal.
