1. Collaboration: We have greatly enjoyed interacting with iGEM teams from around the World and we generated an important piece of data for the team from the the
University of Exeter. This is documented on our collaborations page.
2. Human Practices:We have engaged in a number of outreach events to publicise the potential of plant synthetic biology. These have included University Open days, school and public events. In addition we conducted a survey that assessed public attitudes to the use of genetically modified organisms for food or medicine. These are outlined on our Public Outreach and Survey (LINK) pages.
3. Validated Parts:We have generated a set of biobricks that contain a novel set of plant promotors in the Phytobrick standard. These are outlined on our Parts page. We tested these parts by expressing the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone antagonist (TSH) in the tobacco leaf expression system (COMPOSITE PART LINK).
