Achievements
Policies and Practices we:
- Thoroughly researched our target markets and differing legislation that could affect our system
- Connected with many different experts in the fields of infectious diseases, anti-malarials and public health to truly understand the needs and feasibilities
- Connected with the foremost authority in low cost diagnostics “FIND – Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics’ to discuss the viability of our design and concept
- Connected with a small village clinic in rural Uganda, giving an opportunity to see the facility as well as discuss the topic with local physicians
- Featured iGEM and our project on a global stage at the United Nations and created discussion regarding the advancement of synthetic biology
Modelling:
- Designed and manufactured a prototype of informed design based on our biological system
- Cost analysis of our prototype and system to ensure that this project is feasible in developing nations
- Quantified the visible threshold of detection for several reporters using time-lapsed cell count and absorbance readings, as well as a programmed colour sensor
- Programmed an Arduino UNO microcontroller, colour sensor and LCD screen to detect colour change among detection chambers
- Applied circuitry of a heating pad/temperature considerations for ideal isothermal PCR conditions
- Used Autodesk Maya Software to visually model and represent our system
- Used Solid-works Software to model fluid flow analysis for different prototype designs
