The Project

We are developing a low concentration bio-detector.

The system is based on an intricate gate construct, utilizes quorum-sensing and an altered two-component signalling system. In addition, groundbreaking organic synthesis of a photo-switching molecule – Azobenzene – is used in a pioneering attempt to mimic biofilm formation.
We have planned and built a low concentration detector using these elements.



The idea

Read about our vision for our project. Find out more about the idea and where some R&D can take us

Histidine Kinase

Read how the Histidine Kinase system in E.coli can be used for different applications and substances

Gate construct

Explore our genetic logic gates in detail, what happens in the system and how it can detect low concentrations

Azobenzene

Read about our pioneering method for bacterial aggregation using organically synthesized Azobenzene molecules

modeling

Check out our modeling for low concentration detection and bacterial aggregation

Experiments

Find out about the experiments we preformed and see the results. Read more about future experiments we planned

Methods & protocols

Read about the methods we used in the lab and download the protocols

Lab notebook

You can find out what we did the whole summer in the lab in each sub-project

Human Practice

In our Human Practices project we focus on 3 principles:

Encouraging independent thinking and creativity among teens and youth
Progressing Arab-Jewish relations through the medium of science
Representing Israel as ambassadors in the worldwide competition of iGEM

SynBio in 3 languages

All of our human practice activities are related to our main concept of SynBio in 3 languages. Each activity was designed to include all members of Israeli society, and was held in Hebrew, Arabic and English.

iGEM high-schools

We have launched the first iGEM high-school team in Israel! We designed detaild lesson plans, raised the money for the team and found facilities. The first group will start working this winter.

SynBio Lectures

We have build lectures for young and older kids on Synthetic biology in space and in water, for our activities and for your free use.

Collaborations

In the iGEM spirit we collaborated with the Paris_Bettencourt team and BGU_Israel in a few projects.
