Team Edinburgh Finding NEMO

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to our project with effort, support, and advice

Our project didn’t simply jump onto the table, it was built up from several rounds of pitch, enthusiastic brainstorm, and feedback from supervisors. At the very beginning, we proposed couple of projects that we thought were interesting. For instance, we considered that coupling lipase production to lipase-catalyzed biodiesel synthesis in one pot by engineering yeast to produce cell wall displaying enzymes, thus to optimize the enzymatic biofuel production. Eventually, as we all were interested in cell-free technology, we agreed to develop an intelligent cell-free biosensor. Thanks to the hard work of our team and the support from supervisors, advisors, here we are allowed to share our project, proudly.
