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:
- Participated in the iGEM Interlab Study
- Worked with Pitt iGEM Team on modeling
- Made a CMU iGEM Twitter
- Had a really great iGEM Meetup (September 6)
- Worked with Ivy Tech to improve the DNA Extraction Kit
We spent lots of time with our community.
- Reached 531 students, ages 10-18, total of 243 hours and 32 teachers
- Designed synthetic biology kits for lending to middle school teachers through DNAzone
- Tested SynBio kits for DNA Extraction and Creature Feature with students
- Children of CMU Faculty and Staff at Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day (April 24)
- Environmental Charter School Outreach (June 11)
- SAMS (July 3)
- TechBio and SysBio presentation with Pitt iGEM (July 11)
- SRI presentation at CMU (July 11)
- Science Scavenger Hunt (July 18)
- Sciencepalooza (July 31)
- Pittsburgh Public School Professional Development (August 20)
- Interviews with experts
- Considered ethics and policies
- Investigated microfluidic chamber design, production and implementation
