Team:Tokyo Tech
In this iGEM competition, we planned to tell the public about synthetic biology, E.coli and toxin-antitoxin system, as well as we enjoyed our activity for iGEM. iGEM 2016 team Tokyo-Tech participated in a poster session, gave lectures to high school students and collected feedback from the public as Human Practice. We learned that the familiar story in everyone’s childhood is an easier way to make the public have interest in the things which they almost don’t get in touch with in daily life such as synthetic biology and E.coli. Therefore, we decided to use Snow White as the topic of our project this year. We used E.coli to recreate Snow White story, and basing on simulation, we also evaluated Snow White story with the prospective of the real beauty. Moreover, to respond further to the feedback that we received, we created the software which makes selective protein become possible. (read the Human Practice page)
