We accomplished many things this summer...

  • Formed and registered the team.
    • Obtained a Summer Undergraduate Research Grant (SURG)
  • Submitted 35 parts to the Registry
    • Documented new photosensitizers, an estrogen biosensor and a robust T7 RNA Polymerase reporter system
    • Validated a new photosensitizer and improved another
    • Improved the characterization of fluorescent proteins and a T7 RNA Polymerase reporter system
  • Modeled our sensor and the influence of estrogen on a fish population

We collaborated extensively:


We spent lots of time with our community.

  • Reached 531 students, ages 10-18, total of 243 hours and 32 teachers
  • Created Beyond the Bench[mark], an international iGEM initiative for improving scientific literacy
