Team

GreatBay_SCIE consists of 23 high-school students who are creative, capable and cordial, striving to apply synthetic biology in reality.

Project

This year, we aim to degrade textile waste, minimizing the side effects brought by fast fashion. Two cellulosome-nanomachines were designed as our solution: one is utilized for natural fiber degradation; the other is utilized for synthetic fiber degradation.

Model

Two models are designed: One demonstrates the mechanism of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases; the other model verifies the type I dockerin-cohesin interaction. Both of them greatly facilitates our experiment.

Lab

Our lab consists of four sections: cellulolytic enzyme system experiment, PET degradation enzyme experiment, cell surface display system experiment, ferritin experiment, and scaffold experiment.

HP

Throughout the season, we have conducted an array of activities to reach out to people from all walks of life to gradually understand the problem, develop a more comprehensive solution, and evaluate our solution.
