Engineering Success

Our iterative design process and laboratory cycles.

01

Initial Circuit Design

Design

We designed a genetic toggle switch using the LacI and TetR repressors...

Build

Gibson Assembly was used to clone the circuit into pSB1C3.

Test

Fluorescence was measured over 12 hours via plate reader.

Learn

The promoter strength was too high, causing metabolic burden.


02

Optimizing Promoter Strength

Based on Cycle 1, we introduced a library of RBS variants...
