iGEM UCLouvain Team
the project BactaSun
Although melanoma accounts for less than 1% of skin cancer cases, they are responsible for the vast majority of skin cancer deaths. More than 80% of melanomas are caused by the exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
Our project: BactaSun, a bio-badge changing color when exposed to sunlight.
