We intend to develop a fast screening technique for invasive fungi, such as Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp. The idea is to tag invasive fungal cells with a special peptide marker. By further modifying this protein marker with a signal molecule, the resulting construct has applications in both diagnostics and therapeutics.

Follow our steps and see how our wetlab and drylab subteams operated each day in the lab in order to achieve our goal of developing a fast screening technique for invasive fungi.

Our team consists of 12 ambitious and dedicated master students of Microbiology and Biochemistry from the Georg-August University of Göttingen. We love the quest for answers and are supporting each other to the fullest in order to accomplish our objectives!

Here, you can find the literature relevant to the same, including the booklet for fundraising, the slides of our presentations, our progress reports, posters and flyers those we did as our human practice. Spread the word on synthetic biology and let us expand this ever-growing community!
