Documented & submitted:

CpxR reporters were made with the promoter in forward and reverse direction, respectively BBa_K1486049 and BBa_K1486050.
A BioBrick consisting of CpxR under Arabinose Promoter was made, and then sfGFP was fused to CpxR's N terminus (BBa_K1486002) and C terminus (BBa_K1486005).

We realized that Calgary's CpxR reporter biobrick was missing a part of the sequence, so we repaired it and sent it as our BBa_K1486048. The BioBrick was also perfected by testing the complete CpxR target (as Calgary's part did not include the whole sequence). These are BioBricks BBa_K1486049 and BBa_K1486050, with the promoter in forward and reverse direction respectively.
Submitted the two parts of the split of EPIC Firefly luciferase (N-terminal part (BBa_K1486016) and C-terminal part (BBa_K1486017)) from Cambridge 2010. The plasmid (BBa_K1486018) containing the two parts of the split separated by a spacer can be very useful as a negative control or to establish a background noise for a complementation assay experiment.
Compared the EPIC Firefly luciferase from Cambridge 2010 team to the renilla luciferase (BBa_K1486022) in the same conditions, to determine which one is best suited for a complementation assay experiment. The full and split luciferases has been compared. Renilla luciferase (full and splits(BBa_K1486021)) have been submitted.

Met with a journalist from the biggest newspaper of our region (Le Temps) and got an article about our project.
Our work was commented by Bent Stumpe, inventor of the touchscreen, as well as Rolf Heuer, the current director of the CERN, in Geneva.
Organized an outreach event with 80 highschool students at EPFL, teaching them about synthetic biology as well as laboratory techniques and made them participate in a game called « mini iGEM ».
Presented our work at the Hackuarium in Renens.
