Welcome to Tufts iGEM 2019!
Welcome to iGEM 2018!
The Tufts Synthetic Biology Club has been working on iGem projects for the past five years. Welcome to our 2019 wiki!
What was our project?
This year we decided to improve a bioelectric sensor that uses a genetically modified strain of Shewanella Oneidensis to detect certain chemicals. This strain is modified to emit electric current in response to a pre-determined analyte, allowing for inexpensive and quick testing of water or other solutions.
Who are we?
Background research was performed by Tufts Students throughout the 2018-19 school year. Some of these Tufts undergraduates worked with graduate students from the Nair Lab to put this project together over the 2019 summer months.
