Cell-free Synthetic Biology for the Masses

Why Cell-free?


Cell-free systems include all the necessary biomachinery for producing proteins outside of a living cell.

Due to their inherent safety and simplicity, cell-free systems provide a powerful tool to synthetic biologists for engineering novel systems without the constraints of cellular life.


Motivation

A lack of standardization, simplification and flexibility has limited the application of cell-free systems, including its use within the education system and DIY community.

We have identified three target user-groups for our system:



Design

To lower the barrier of synthetic biology our project aims to create a STANDARD, SAFE, MODULAR and USER-FRIENDLY cell-free system.



Our System


A collection of standard parts for essential TX-TL components.



Streamline and novel purification techniques.


A tool to create an orthogonal system


A tool to detect potentially harmful encrypted sequences.


A safe synthetic biology teaching tool.
Simplified protocols.
Curriculum aligned lesson plans.
