University of Copenhagen iGEM 2018 Team proudly presents
PharMARSy
Simple Pharmaceutical Protein Production & Purification System on Mars
This year’s Copenhagen iGEM team is working on a protein production system for the colonization of Mars. Microgravity on Mars induces muscle loss in Martians; to alleviate this, we will make pure human growth hormone using our novel PharMARSy system. PharMARSy is a protein production system that uses the disease-causing bacterial injectisome (Type III secretion system) as a molecular syringe to inject a specific protein, freshly made from a microbial factory, through a biomimetic membrane. PharMARSy allows for both production and purification of the protein - all in one.
Oh! PharMARSy works on Earth too, and we can produce many other pure proteins with PharMARSy!
We will be adding more content to this Wiki over this summer.
In the meantime, you may:

- view our poster that we presented at Nordic iGEM conference 2018 in Lund, where we won both the Judges prize and the iGEMers choice award.
