Very early on, we each came up with an idea for our iGEM project and presented it to the group. You can see some of these on our Initial Ideas page.
We carried out a public survey in the UK, where more than half of the 200 surveyed wanted a synthetic biology solution for disease diagnosis. You can read more about our surveys on our Silver Human Practices page.
We identified a gap in the field of rapid, point-of-care diagnostics which arises when antibody-based technologies cannot be used, for example diagnosis of diseases in infants or immunocompromised patients.
Design
As a result, we decided to use the flexibility and versatility of synthetic biology to design
a platform technology which addresses these issues.
