Overview
Methodology
With the advancement in the field of synthetic biology, scientists have successfully engineered microbes to combat challenges in various fields such as medicine, energy, and environment. These genetically engineered microbes are however not commercialized due to the risk of bacteria escaping from the targeted host into the environment. To address this issue, we develop the NUSgem Kill-switch Toolkit that enables users to build customized and effective kill-switches for different applications. This toolkit consists of a library of characterized sensors, logic gates, and killing systems.
