Achievements

Realization of Membrane Magic

We expanded the definition of scaffold and developed two universal devices called Membrane Accelerator and Membrane Rudder respectively.

Both of the two devices worked as expected. We improved Fatty Acid synthesis efficiency by 24 fold and stringently switched the direction of Violacein synthetic pathway through blue light signal.

Improvement of Previous Part

We improved previous team's part [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I714891:Experience#Applications_of_BBa_I714891 BBa_I714891] by spliting EGFP into two halves. Split EGFP device could function as a reporter for protein interaction.

Inter-team Help

We helped Team SUSTC-Shenzhen-A characterize their App and gave user feedback. Moreover, we tested the website of Team SUSTC-Shenzhen-B.

Parts Submission

We have submitted 42 well characterized parts which could either be used directly or serve as a universal tool readily for others' use.

Human Practice

We created an association, called Biocraft in SJTU, spreading synthetic biology in high school and college. To raise more awareness of synthetic biology in society, we interviewed and tried to build collaboration relationship with the founder of Huaqiao Foundation, a non-profit foundation which helped the poor who are suffering.
