PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Our project is directed mainly at radiologists and medical technologists, because they are constantly exposed to ionizing radiation, which is harmful to the body as it accumulates over the years, from causin Skin problems to different cancers.

Blueberi; is a biological option to dosimeters that it currently working to warn the specialist that if the person is in danger. The problem with these devices is that the results can be affected by different external factors, as well as adulterations when sent to the SEREMI, to know how much radiation the person was exposed.

Our project will give an immediate response to the high exposure to ionizing radiation, thanks to the use of genetically modified bacteria that will sense the mutation of the DNA, which are inserted in a sachet, will change color and release a Lemon scent, so the specialist has a double warning that he is at potential risk.
