Team We successfully registered and formed the team! 3 engineers, 2 biologists, 1 business and 1 industrial design, 2 sophomores, 1 junior, and 4 seniors, 6 females and 1 male Obtained a SURG grant Modeling collaboration with Pitt iGEM Made a CMU iGEM Twitter iGEM Meetup (September 6) Biology and Engineering We submitted 35 parts to the Registry. We also documented a new photosensitizer, estrogenic sensor and a robust T7 RNA Polymerase reporter system Participated in the iGEM Interlab Study We improved characterization of blue, green, yellow, orange and red fluorescent proteins in two bacterial strains Killer Red Improvements, codon optimized and monomeric Constructed an improved LED photobleaching device Designed, cloned and tested an intein based biosensor for detecting estrogenic activity Microfluidics chamber design, production and implementation Meeting with Dr. Vanbriesen (July 2) Meeting with Dr. Gregory (July 17) Synthetic Biology Outreach Reached 531 students, ages 10-18, total of 243 hours and 32 teachers Kits for DNA Extraction and Creature Feature Designed synthetic biology kits for lending to middle school teachers Tested the kits with students CMU Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day (April 24) Environmental Charter School Outreach (June 11) SAMS (July 3) Sciencepalooza (July 31) Science Scavenger Hunt (July 18) Pittsburgh Public School Professional Development (August 20) Awareness TechBio and SysBio presentation with Pitt iGEM (July 11) SRI presentation at CMU (July 11) Science Scavenger Hunt (July 18)
