. 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!
Our Team consists of young, aspiring scientists from the fields of Biology
and Biophysics. We joined forces with different researchers and other teams
to bring our vision forward.
