Team:Tongji Shanghai/Demonstrate
demonstration
Project
- 1. Optimized photothermal therapy for tumor, using genetically engineered machine to reach practical solution. The differentiation is observablein in-vivo experiment.
- 2. Built part of hTERT promoter with GFP downstream, made convenience for users to examine whether a string of cell is telomerase-positive or not.
- 3. Built part of hsp promoter with GFP downstream, enable users to know deep tissue temperature without surgery invasion.
- 4. Raised a more powerful complex structure UCNP with a lower cost for photothermal therapy, analyzed the multifunction of this complex. UCNP is a transporting carrier for plasmid and active oxygen generator.
- 5. Built a mathematical model to describe the medicine time-dependent concentration change trend. We Optimized this model for GNRs to forecast its desity-changing trend as reference to our research.
Outside the lab:
- 1. Help setting research project for NYU-Shanghai.
- 2. Provided IGEM overview to SJTU.
- 3. Provided tet-on kit to Fudan university.
- 4. Went to Shanghai science and technology museum, had popularization of science lecture for visitors.
- 5. Hosting for students from Tongji middle school, explained the theme of synthetic biology. Give them early education oven genetically engineering.
- 6. Organize Taiwan meet-ups trip and Taipei Workshop in NYMU. Take part in iGEM Asia Pacific Conference in NCKU and give a presentation of Team Tongji_Shanghai.
our future plan
- 1. Continue the experiments of UCNP, try to provide a more practical way to optimize photothermal therapy.
- 2. Making bigger quantity of data, marking the best interval of heating and resting, draw the chat of time interval and therapy effect.
- 3. Go to hospitals and inquire specialists for more advice on applying, in the end make products on clinical level.
