OUR PROJECT

The goal of this project is to engineer a biological circuit utilizing multiple e.coli DNA regulatory sequences and a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter as a means to detect Arsenic. Once this construct is designed and constructed the circuit will be tested to demonstrate its viability using a cell free lateral flow paper based system designed to detect Arsenic.

Resources

Through this proof of concept we will be working closely with local Nonprofits Urban. The goal of this project is to engineer a biological circuit utilizing multiple e.coli DNA regulatory sequences and a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter as a means to detect Arsenic+. 

Once this construct is designed and constructed the goal will be to demonstrate this circuit as viable in a cell arsenic. Through this proof of concept we will be working closely with local Nonprofits Urban Waters and Readiness Acceleration and Innovation Network (RAIN) as well as a local high school Charles Wright Academy. Through this heave community involvement we hope to both increase pre-collegiate interest in STEM related fields, increase the communal understanding of the local environment and provide a cheap and effective tool for the detection of potentially toxic metals (Arsenic) and Readiness Acceleration and Innovation Network (RAIN) as well as a local high school Charles Wright Academy.

 Through this heave community involvement we hope to both increase pre-collegiate interest in STEM related fields, increase the communal understanding of the local environment and provide a cheap and effective tool for the detection of potentially toxic metals (Arsenic).

Synthetic Biology

What It Is And How It Played A Role In Our Project

What is Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology is the shift from Understanding and modifying biology to treating biology as an engineering discipline where basic building blocks are assembled from the ground up into larger engineered systems


Goals of Synthetic Biology

  • Develop tools to work at increasing levels of abstraction, and to enable facile manufacturing of designs 
  • Leverage expertise from established engineering disciplines 
  • Ultimately, forward engineer novel solutions to diverse problems
