Team:UrbanTundra Edmonton
Urban Tundra Edmonton
We are the high school iGEM team Urban Tundra Edmonton; a group of passionate students brought together by a shared interest: applying synthetic biology.
The Goal
By using the tools of Synthetic Biology, Urban Tundra plans to show as a proof of concept that toxins in Martian soil can be converted to produce oxygen using an engineered biological system
The Future
With manned Mars missions approaching in the near future, a system such as this will be invaluable for Martian exploration and colonization
Why?
Reaching Mars would be a feat that could inspire a generation and development towards that goal, including our research topic, could potentially inspire many solutions for issues on Earth
