Our goal was to transform cells so that they could resist high levels of UV-B radiation. We wanted to not only test our cells in a lab setting, but also in a setting that was near to what they might face in the real world, as we could not take them out of the lab. Using our Environmental Simulation System, we were able to expose our constructs to high levels of UV-B radiation which is more than what they would face in the environment. In addition, we were also able to control the temperature, level of light, and monitor the humidity to match real world conditions.
As shown on our results page, our cell constructs with Dsup were able to survive under increased levels of UV-B radiation, while wild type cells were not. Our part worked the way it was designed to, and exhibited increased resistance to UV-B radiation under real world conditions.
Demonstrate
Gold Medal Criterion #4
Teams that can show their system working under real world conditions are usually good at impressing the judges in iGEM. To achieve gold medal criterion #4, convince the judges that your project works. There are many ways in which your project working could be demonstrated, so there is more than one way to meet this requirement. This gold medal criterion was introduced in 2016, so check our what 2016 teams did to achieve a their gold medals!
Please see the 2017 Medals Page for more information.
What should we do for our demonstration?
Standard teams
If you have built a proof of concept system, you can demonstrate it working under real world conditions. If you have built a biological device that is intended to be a sensor, can you show it detecting whatever it is intended to sense. If it is intended to work in the field, you can show how this might work using a simulated version in the lab, or a simulation of your device in the field. Please note biological materials must not be taken out of the lab.
Special track teams
Special track teams can achieve this medal criterion by bringing their work to the Jamboree and showcasing it in the track event. Art & Design, Measurement, Hardware and Software tracks will all have showcase events at the Giant Jamboree. Please note biological materials must not be taken out of the lab.
