Tufts Team iGEM 2018!

The synthetic biology club at Tufts participates in iGEM every year. Welcome to our website :)

What was our project?

We used toehold switches that collapsed upon the binding of miRNAs, causing Cas13a to be transcribed, which would theoretically allow for a signal to be detected with the use of fluorescent probes.

Why is this important?

Whenever a disease process occurs in the human body, specialized miRNAs are released. Using these to cause the collapse of our toehold could allow for early detection of disease from blood samples.

Who are we? (insert photo of us here)
