We kept discussing possible projects, and we now have several projects that would be interresting to work with. Here are the topics we have discussed so far:
- Fatty acid synthesis in E.coli (EDA and DHA production)
- Using cells in water purification
- Using bacteria to remove hormones from wastewater
- Using bacteria to remove sucralose from wastewater
- Be able to control pili production in order to control electron transfer between cells
- Biosensor detecting cancer cells, starting synthesis of chemoterapeutic drugs when cancer cells are detected
- Biosensor detecting harmful bacteria
- Making bacteria destroy oil spill
- Digitalize a signal from an environmental stimulus
- Biomining (using microorganisms to extract metals

We had a meeting, where we started discussing ideas for this year's iGEM project. We also decided to eat lunch together once a week, to get to know one another.
For the outreach part of the project, Gunvor suggested that we could collaborate with Studentersamfundet to make a "lørdagsmøte" about synthetic biology.
