Project
What are you working on this semester?
This semester, we are working on engineering a bacteria with a pH indicator that will activate a gene in the presence of gastric acid (pH of 1.5 to 3.5). The gene will then allow the bacteria to excrete a base or stomach mucus to help neutralize the gastric acid in the esophagus, which is the leading cause of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Notebook
Show us how you spent your days.
Results/Conclusions
What did you achieve over the course of your semester?
Safety
What safety precautions did your team take? Did you take a safety training course? Were you supervised at all times in the lab?
Attributions
Scott and Luke and Rohit= Wiki Page
Prashant and Max = Searching for Sponsor
Leanne and Vitusha = Research
Human Practices
What impact does/will your project have on the public?
We are engineering a bacteria that has a pH sensor, which will activate a gene to release a base or stomach mucus that well neutralize the stomach acid that causes Gastroesophageal Reflux.
The bacteria will be in a solution so people with frequent heartburns can take it before their meal. And people who have occasional heartburns can take it after their meal.
Fun!
What was your favorite team snack?? Have a picture of your team mascot?
