Results

Results

Our aim was to produce electricity with our application which we finally achieved successfully. On that long way we got many data which we analyzed and formatted into graphics. Take a look.

Human Practice

Human Practice

It is important to get out of the lab and tell the public about your project and synthetic biology. Therefore we arranged events and visited conferences to get in touch with the public.
