Vision
Acrylamide- we are eating it! Not only this chemical compound is present in our laboratories but also in the food we ingest! After having realized the fact that a carcinogenic substance is present in our food, and its carcinogenicity has been suggested even by the Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

Project
We wanted to know how can we easily detect acrylamide using our knowledge and engineer a bacteria that would be able to do such thing.As this matter seemed relevant we couldn't find satisfying answers to the questions we asked:Is acrylamide toxic? If yes what are the concentrations that are harmful? This is where our cell-project steps in...
