Our Project

The AcCELLerator facilitates one central process in mammalian cell culture: Gene delivery.

It provides you with the possibility to stably insert and express multiple genes with high spatio-temporal resolution. The two component system combines the advantages of optogentics and viral vector based gene delivery.

Results

To validate our system we used different experimental methods including FACS-analysis, immunoblotting and confocal microscopy.

Policy and Safety

The work with viruses and viral vectors provoked safety fears in many people we talked to about our project. Therefore we decided to closely link safety efforts with policy and practice and developed the innovative Link-itapproach.
