iGEM HU Berlin:

The worldwide plastic pollution of our environment poses a growing threat to humankind. We, as a team of young aspiring scientists, want to combat this issue. By modifying the freshwater algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii we are trying to develop a new, evironment-friendly way of recycling the most common plastic, polyethylene therephtalate (PET). Brace yourself, plastic pollution! We are coming for you!

Safety

How do we make sure all experiments pose no risk for our researchers and the environment? Read all about our safety rules and plans for containment of our genetically engineered organism.

 
human practice

Human Practise

We sat together with scientists and companies and tried to implement their knowledge in our experimental set-up. Moreover we started to raise awareness for global plastic pollution and answers synthetic biology might have in store.
