In The Lab

This is where we can talk about how the beginnings of the project started, the crew that was involved, and all of that jazz. Include hyperlinks here when names are mentioned, that would be a cool little feature for our website. Also, we can include hyperlinks to part of our interlab if it has any kind of relation. Also, we can change the background photo here from the DNA strand thing to something a little different like a series of pipes or something.

This is just some extra space that happens to be around if we need to use it.

Applications

The protein within the plasmid backbone of bacteria natural to the human microbiome could be used as a therapeutic drug to protect people from possible toxicants in the environment by sensing their harmful effects within biofilms and host cells or as a therapeutic drug to enhance someone’s natural microbiome by beneficial ionic responses with biofilm formation. For example, it could be taken and used to coat the insides of the respiratory tract to detect changes and prevent unregulated ion channels. This in turn could prevent serious bodily harm with minimal disturbance of ion balance/ biofilms and could enhance microbiome response overall.
