Our project EcoCADMUS (E. Coli CAdmium DecontaMination Universal System) targets industrial and mineral processing waste-water contamination by heavy metals and sulfates. EcoCADMUS provides a safe and selective way to remove Cadmium Sulfide from waste water using Synthetic Biology.
Our Team
Come and meet our lovely team! We've been working hard (mostly!) on our project all over Summer.
Plasmid Construct
Look at the plasmid we're using in our project, complete with a repertoire of Cadmium related genes.
Social Outreach
We've been busy communicating Synthetic Biology and contemplating the sustainability and ethics of our project.
