| Integrated Human Practices | After interviewing several experts, we implemented their feedback throughout our project. | See our Integrated Human Practices page for detailed interviews. |
| Project Modeling | We used a statistical model called Box-Behnken Design to explore how certain parameters impact the production of optimal nanoparticles. We determined an optimal pH level and suitable gold:silver salt ratio for the production of nanoparticles. | Check our Model page for a detailed overview. |
| Proof of Concept | We have shown that our biologically produced nanoparticles are capable of converting near infrared light to thermal energy, as required for photothermal therapy. | Check out our Proof of Concept page. |
| Education and Communication | We shared our enthusiasm for synthetic biology with the public by organizing and joining several events. | Read more about this on our Education and Communications page and Featured page. |
