Medals
Medal | Requirement | Criteria | Fulfilment |
---|---|---|---|
Bronze | Registration | Complete registration and attend the Giant Jamboree | We successfully registered for iGEM and are looking forward to attending the Boston jamboree! |
Competition Deliverables | Poster, Judging Form, Wiki and Presentation | We have created a poster and presentation to exhibit at the Giant Jamboree, and our judging form can be found here. | |
Attributions | Describe work completed by the team and others | A page describing project attributions can be found here | Interlab | Complete Interlab measurement study | We successfully took part in the Interlab measurement study and a page documenting our work can be found here |
Silver | Validated Part | Add a successfully characterised new part to the BioBrick registry | We created BBa_K2757000, a novel part composed of the artilysin Art-175 and DsbA secretion tag, linked with a pTet promoter. More information on the design and characterisation of this part can be found here. |
Human Practices | Consider the wider implications of the project | A variety of public surveys, patient interviews, and meetings with researchers helped both to guide further research and to shape our design. We also hosted a number of outreach events and investigated ethical issues associated with GMO probiotics. Read more about our work here. | Collaboration | Describe work completed by the team and others | Over the Summer, we worked with a range of iGEM teams from around the world, both inside and outside the lab. A summary of our collaborations can be found here. |
Gold | Modelling | Construct a meaningful model of the system | As shown here, we created a model of the system in both the time and frequency domain. Our model was integral in highlighting the need for a dual feedback loop to to optimise the response. |
Integrated Human Practices | Create and characterise a BioBrick part with a functional improvement on an existing BioBrick part. | We decided to redesign BBa_R0040, a unidirectional pTet promoter, and create a bidirectional pTet promoter, BBa_K2757002. More information on the design and characterisation of the promoter can be found here. | |
Part Improvement | Create and characterise a BioBrick part with a functional improvement on an existing BioBrick part. | We decided to redesign BBa_R0040, a unidirectional pTet promoter, and create a bidirectional pTet promoter, BBa_K2757002. More information on the design and characterisation of the promoter can be found here. |
