Team York 2014

Our project EcoCADMUS (E. Coli CAdmium DecontaMination Universal System) aims to provide a safe and effective way to remove Cadmium and Sulfate from wastewater.

The Solution

Our project is a biological approach to solving an environmental problem; the removal of cadmium and sulfate from waste water. Our aim is to increase cadmium and sulfate uptake in our chassis, E.coli. Our system involves chelating cadmium intra-cellularly through over-expressing cysteine-rich phytochelatins. Find out more about our project here.

Our Achievements

We have been working hard over summer in the labs to create our constructs. Click here to find out more about the characterisation of our constructs!

Outreach

As part of our project, we wanted to introduce the public to the concept of Genetically Modified Organisms and how they have a multitude of uses. Our outreach took us to many people and places as we explored the relationship between the public and Synthetic Biology

The Team

Our team is comprised of 19 undergraduates from the University of York. Find out more about the team and the people who supported us throughout this year.

Our Team

Come and meet our lovely team!
We've been working hard (mostly!) on our project all over Summer.

Our final Construct

To find our more about our final construct we have designed.

Social Outreach

We have been busy communicating Synthetic Biology and contemplating the sustainability and ethics of our project.
