Team:UCopenhagen/Poster
Welcome to the UCopenhagen Poster Page!
This page looks a little different from the others, as here you'll find the poster we're going to be using at the Jamboree! We hope you like our blahblah for an interactive poster that almost doesn't suck
iGEM UCopenhagen brings you our 2020 project: CIDosis
You should list all authors and their affiliations here. You can also add the project's abstract.

Materializing the Product
Our solution is a sweat-collecting patch that the patient can wear on the go. It consists of three layers.
General inflammation can greatly fluctuate, and infrequent testing can give a misleading picture of a patient's inflammation status, due to the snapshot nature of these tests. For example, rheumatoid arthritis patients can experience big inflammation changes between current testing, leading to irrevocable damage. We want to avoid this by giving patients easy access to weekly stress-free monitoring. The CIDosis patch can be used in the patient’s daily life and help guide treatment by providing more data to the healthcare professionals.
We envision the use of an app that would enable the users to read the inflammation results in a precise manner. This app will track the inflammation results over time. In this way, inflammation levels can be saved and used for disease progression analysis. Here you see a representation of our app with a color slider that allows the user to save the patch color to their calendar and follow their inflammation.
- Poroud nanofilm - A porous nanofilm will allow interleukins to diffuse into the patch and prevent the yeast cells from escaping the patch. This film provides safety for the users and bio-containment.
- Genetically modified yeast-based biosensor - Our yeast biosensor in dry-yeast form, ready to be activated upon contact with sweat.
- Adhesive patch - Common transparent plastic or woven fabric (such as nylon) used by bandage manufacturers.
