Accomplishments

Not Trying to Brag or Anything, But...

Results and Conclusion

  • Adapted a statistical analysis method commonly used in industrial engineering to synthetic biology and wrote a protocol so that other teams can use it on their projects
  • Updated Drew Endy's bicistronic design constructs to be compatible with the iGEM registry standards so that iGEM teams can have reduced variability in genetic expression
  • Collaborated with over 75 iGEM teams to design a standardized datasheet for easier data representation and part characterization on the iGEM registry
  • Officially submitted a new promoter to the registry and showed proof of function, with plans to send the four bicistronic device constructs
  • Performed outreach to local farmers and producers in the West Lafayette area to gauge their thoughts and feelings towards synthetic biology
  • Worked with representatives of the Girls Scouts of America to design and implement a biotechnology badge and introduction curriculum
  • Continued work from the 2012 competition to create a community lab space in Noblesville, Indiana for public use and education
