JUDGING

B R O N Z E REQUIREMENTS

Register for iGEM

We have registered for the iGEM Giant Jamboree and we look forward to presenting our project in Boston! We have had an amazing summer working together, collaborating with others, and reaching out to our community.

Team Poster

We have created our project poster and will be presenting it at the Giant Jamboree.

Team Presentation

We look forward to presenting our project at the Giant Jamboree and showing how our team takes manufacturing where it has never been before.

Safety Form

With the submission of our safety form, we complete this competition deliverable. You can find our safety page here!

Judging Form

Our judging form has been submitted, and the breakdown of how we meet the medal requirements and project deliverables can be seen throughout this page.

Registry Part Page

Our various registry parts have been fully documented and can be seen on our parts page here!

Sample Submission

DNA samples our our parts have been submitted to the Registry to help make the Registry even more comprehensive for next year.

Attribution

We couldn’t have developed our project without the help of others. The work accomplished by ourselves and the work and support we received from others has been fully documented, and can be found on our attributions page here!

Contribution

This year, the UCSC iGEM team has contributed by participating in the InterLab study! You can see our results on our InterLab page here!

Validated Part

The validation of our own part is not only a facinating component of our project, but is also crucial for the synthesis of the essential medicine, acetaminophen. Take a look at how we validated our part in E. coli.

Collaboration

Collaboration between laboratories across the world will always be an essential component for the advancement of the scientific community. Check out our collaborations page to learn more about how we worked with other iGEM teams.

Human Practices Silver

Engaging in our community and outreaching to regions around the world dramatically helped shape our project. Here at UC Santa Cruz, we care strongly about real world problems and what we can do to help. Take a look at the outreach we conducted.

Integrated Human Practices

We place an enormous emphasis identifying real world problems before we delve into potential solutions using synthetic biology. Before we began our project, we conducted meaningful outreach to some of our target locations around the world. With this, through synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, our project became focused on alleviating real problems that had been expressed by real health care practitioners. To learn more about how human practices has been integrated into our project, click here!

Demonstrate Our Work

It's not enough to only think of good ways to approach a solution to a widespread global problem -- you have to act on it too! We have gathered an enormous amount of data and demonstrated that our concept works when applied in a biological system. Check out how we demonstrated our work!

Modeling

Modeling product yield is an integral component of our project. Without it, the applicability of our project becomes undermined. Modeling not only allows one to predict the yield of a desired product, but also to optimize growth conditions to maximize product in a given amount of time. Take a look at our modeling for acetaminophen and vitamin B₁₂ product yield.
