Slide2Project 1: The
Lactonator
This
project will address and attempt
to cure
the problem of lactose intolerance.
Slide3The
Lactonator
: Ideas
-Use milk as signal to start gene in bacteria, so it will only produce lactase when dairy/lactose is present. This will make sure lactase is not over-produced in the body.
-Engineer/find a strain of E. coli that is non-toxic/won’t trigger immune system.
-Produce phage that will infect bacteria and inject their own DNA.
Slide4Project 2: Miracle
Gro
: Human Edition
This
project will attempt to
initiate
auto-regeneration in a specific type of tissue.
Slide5Miracle Gro
: Human Edition: Ideas
-Insert gene that will cause cells in an injured area to begin producing new cells.
-Have an indicator so the cells will know when to stop dividing. A shut-off mechanism once a certain cell density is achieved
.
-
Inject modified cells directly into the necessary area.
Slide6Project 3:
Eggineering
This
project will attempt to cure allergic reactions to eggs.
Slide7Eggineering
: Ideas
-Anti-anti-body: create an anti-body that will destroy the anti-body to the egg protein. This should halt the allergic reaction.
-Place information in a large/central lymph node.
