Achievements

Policies and Practices we:

  • Thoroughly researched our target markets and differing legislation that could affect our system
  • Connected with many different experts in the fields of infectious diseases, anti-malarials and public health to truly understand the needs and feasibilities
  • Connected with the foremost authority in low cost diagnostics “FIND – Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics’ to discuss the viability of our design and concept
  • Connected with a small village clinic in rural Uganda, giving an opportunity to see the facility as well as discuss the topic with local physicians
  • Featured iGEM and our project on a global stage at the United Nations and created discussion regarding the advancement of synthetic biology

Modelling:

  • Designed and manufactured a prototype of informed design based on our biological system
  • Cost analysis of our prototype and system to ensure that this project is feasible in developing nations
  • Quantified the visible threshold of detection for several reporters using time-lapsed cell count and absorbance readings, as well as a programmed colour sensor
  • Programmed an Arduino UNO microcontroller, colour sensor and LCD screen to detect colour change among detection chambers
  • Applied circuitry of a heating pad/temperature considerations for ideal isothermal PCR conditions
  • Used Autodesk Maya Software to visually model and represent our system
  • Used Solid-works Software to model fluid flow analysis for different prototype designs
