Revision as of 12:41, 26 September 2019
iGEM HU Berlin:
We proudly present you the freshwater algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Chlamy, being easy to cultivate and a well understood model organism, poses a powerful tool for synthetic biology. Using state-of-the-art methods of molecular biology we want to establish the freshwater alga as a platform in the iGEM competition. Considering environmental issues Chlamy poses a favorable tool, possessing the capability to fixate Carbon dioxide. To convince you of Chlamy's potential we are developing a new, environment-friendly way of recycling the most common plastic, polyethylene therephtalate (PET).
The plastic crisis: Does gene editing pose a perspective?
To discuss the perspective of gene editing practices as viable solutions to the environmental plastic pollution we have invited some stakeholders for a panel discussion at the university. The speakers, relating to different fields ranging from the NGO Greenpeace (Dirk Zimmermann) to algae cultivation (Jörg Ullmann) will shed light on the topic from their different perspectives. We would like to welcome you there, too!
