Project

Our aim this semester was to construct a product that would recognize UV radiation and emmit RFP in response, hence show red colouration 

We used parts BBa-Jo4450 and BBa-I765001

Notebook

Show us how you spent your days.

We made seven meetings before Christmas;

•One introductory meeting for all students

•Three about theory and the background information

•One lab, just to learn how to work in a laboratory

•Two meetings, where students were given a new topic to research and collect information.

Those meetings were used for students to get a first idea about synthetic biology and for the supervisor to select the team roster, from all students interested.

After Christmas:

•We started the registration in January, and we made

•Two meetings to choose the topic. In these meetings;

A) °We did brainstorming for choosing some favorite topics

B) °We made research about the favorite topics for ten days

C) °We chose our topic from 4 of the favorites

• We also planned to perform the 3A Assembly Kit protocol, but the kit did not arrive in time as some of the students did not send their consent forms

There was a about two-week period that the team could not start the lab, as the advisor for the team was absent due to serious family problems

• The students were shown YouTube clips to better understand the theory behind the experiments.

⇒ - © and were told to watch the

⇒ - © from the 2008 Imperial team to see how a team functions.

• The Kit arrived in mid-April and all the team members were familiarised ith all contents of the kit in the lab (24/4)
• Between the 24^th April and the 3^rd May, the team met everyday and performed the "competent cell production protocol"

→While this protocol orked as far as we can tell, due to Easter being ont the 5^th May and school exams starting the 13^th May and finishing on 14^th June, the team could not find time to perform th rest of the experiment

• We also have to mention that most of the team roster leaving for an educational trip to Freidburg on the 6^th till the 11^th May

→After exams on the 11^th till the 22^nd June, the team and advisor deaded that it would be best to focous on finishing the wiki and writing the poster and presentation, and learing the skills involved in writing those, than try to finish the lab in the little tim we had.

Results/Conclusions

What did you achieve over the course of your semester?

Safety

What safety precautions did your team take? Did you take a safety training course? Were you supervised at all times in the lab?

In terms of researcher safety, there were not any major issues. Basic laboratory safety requirements were kepy i.e.

• Researcher were always wearing lab coats, goggler and safety gloves.

• Moreover students were never lest alone.

• They were always supervised by the team advsior in all procedures.

• All wastes were properly discourded

All materials used and our intended product were not harmful to the enviromental, nor for public safety, or the human use. However though we cannot be absolutely certain for the safety of the final product, since there was no final, no enviromental or public issues were raised

⇒Part risk level......

There is no biosafety review board on our school, but all ideas were verifed with advisor and team leader. All national biosafety measures trequirements were applied.

→In general, though we are upset that we did not have time to finish our experiments, this does mean taht there were basically no safety issues raised at any point in the procedure←
