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 day by 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 achieve our goals!.

If you want to see more details about our project, here you can find the related documents, involving our booklet for fundraising, the slides of our presentations, our progress reports, posters and flyers those we did as our human practice. Let the public know more about synthetic biology and have fun together with us!
