Bronze

Find a comprehensive compilation of sponsors, partners and scientific contributors on our Attributions page

We submitted 94 parts as part of our PREDCEL/PACE toolbox with the necessary documentation.

Find our results for the InterLab Measurement Study

We complied with all requirements and regulations set by the iGEM competition

We had a great summer and are very much looking forward to meet you at the Giant Jamboree

We experimentally validated that our BioBricks (e.g. BBa_K2398019, BBa_K2398555 and BBa_K2398557) work as expected! Visit our toolbox collection for more than 90 parts

We collaborated with other iGEM teams from all over the world in a bi-directional and significant way. We took over complicated clonings for the iGEM team Freiburg and initiated our own Heidelberg Interlab Study to validate our Mutagenesis Plasmids.

We critically thought about the impact of our project on society, environment and safety. To this end, we engaged with the public, experts and pupils.

Gold

We extended the Engineering Cycle for Foundational Advance projects by including sophisticated concepts for safety measures and the responsible use of new technologies.

We improved the function of an existing biobrick by calculated improved beta-lactamase variants in silico and evaluating the superior functionality in the wet lab.

We intensively modeled our PREDCEL experiments and provide web-based interactive tools that enable our users to model their own systems!

We developed PREDCEL to enable phage-assisted directed evolution in batch mode that is much easier to handle and less expensive compared to the original PACE method. We demonstrate the feasibility of our technology on a protein-interaction experiment based on the split T7 polymerase and in evolving the enzyme cytochrome P450 1A2.
