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

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
