Dual Use Considering Dual Use issues is the principle of considering in which ways the project can be used and misused. After realizing that we never came in touch with this term in our whole academic education we decided to find out more.
Modeling „Any modeling project should be tempered by the morality of laziness.“ (Barnes et. al., 2010). We model time until cell death, siRNA/RNAi interaction, ferritin characterization and process control parameters for our cross-flow reactor.

Promoter Collection

Due to the lack of data on precise promoter strength data a new measuring system had to be established.
Toxicity Metal ions cause hydrogen peroxide to form toxic reactive oxygen species. To counteract, new H2O2 scavenging BioBricks were needed.
Accumulation Metal ions need transport proteins to enter the cells. New BioBricks are required to increase the uptake of metal ions to increase the nanoparticle yield.
Silencing Knocking out copper exporters causes cell death. Precise control over the translation process leads to a better growth condition for the cell.
Nanoparticles Nanoparticles are materials on nano scale. They show different physical properties and thus, are of high interest for industry, medicine and science.
Reactor To filter high amounts of mining drainage without releasing GMO into the environment a hardware need to be designed, constructed and optimized.
Proof of Concept Different applications for nanoparticles received through synthetic biology are investigated.
