Outreach

OUTREACH

Great Exhibition of the North

On the 12th July, Heather Bottomley (Team member of Newcastle iGEM) presented at ‘The Future of Nature: Engineering living systems with synthetic biology’ talk ran by Ángel Goñi Moreno as part of the Great Exhibition of the North Programme. The presentation was regarding our team’s plan to engineer root colonising microbes for the production of flavonoids that would attract nitrogen fixing bacteria to increase the uptake of nitrogen by the plant. Following this questions were asked by scientific professionals and members of the public regarding its safety, regulation as a GMO, it’s containment in the fields and possible other applications of this technology.
