Human Practices:

-We held a club called Bioblast to teach year 7s about synthetic biology. We also held a school assembly about iGem, detailing our work as a team and the purpose of iGem.

-Furthermore, we presented at two science conferences; one by Young Scientist’s Journal in Cambridge, and one local one, held by Tonbridge School, each of these detailing our project and the problems presented by iron deficiency and overdose.

-Finally, some of the team presented at our school Biology Society, and the sporty ones among us ran the Tonbridge Half-Marathon to raise awareness of Synthetic Biology.

Gold

Integrated Human Practices:

- We gave a presentation at the school’s Medical Society detailing the problems surrounding iron deficiency and anaemia issues.

-We held an interview with a consultant haematologist at Tunbridge Wells Hospital, in which we talked about the implications of our project, including the effects on healthcare in third-world countries and the health market worldwide.

Modelling

- Modelled our system using hill equations and used the model to find the best value for initial FUR concentration. Click here for more.

-Improve an existing part – we characterised and improved a part from Evry 2013, which used RFP as their end reporter, whereas we are using amilCP, a blue chromoprotein. This means that the colour change, or lack thereof, can be seen regardless of light conditions.
