TU Eindhoven iGEM 2014 Project

Our goal this year in the iGEM competition is to create a new tool for the synthetic biologist’s toolbox; a tool that allows genetically engineered machines to operate inside the human body without causing an immune response. We want to achieve this by combining polymer chemistry and microfluidics to create individually encapsulated bacteria. Want to learn more? Go to our project description!

Microfluidics

We are busy optimizing our droplet device to get the right parameters for our final device. The design for this device is also being finalized. The device will be used to create droplets with a few bacteria inside in which the polymer chemistry will be done. After the reaction we will test the formation of the encapsulation with FACS.

Labwork

Currently we are making our designed plasmids, after the sequencing results we will hopefully be able to start with protein expression and turning our designed genes into biobricks!

Modeling

We are currently busy researching possible modelling projects, come back later for more information!

Human Practices

For human practices two big projects are currently in focus: creating a picture book about lab work for our younger audience, and building a game about synthetic biology for middle school students.

Team News
