Jamboree Winning Chassis

=Vitro v Vivo=

=Yeah, but In Vitro has its own problems.=

=The New Chassis: In Veso Gene Expression=



Vesicles can be made to last for days, weeks, months...

=But how is this Synthetic Biology?=

True Biological Engineering Built from the Bottom Up Minimal, Elegant Functional Specific 

Applications, Applications Drug delivery Research Artificial Cells Tissue Engineering Biofilm detection... 

Vesicles can make Synthetic Biology more useful in the Real WorldTM

=Right then, tell me about them vesicles.=

As we saw last week, we can make vesicles.

This week's news is that we have made vesicles with GENE EXPRESSION. 

=But what about Characterisation?=

The process is not well characterised. There is no modelling. There is no data.

Characterisation takes a long time. 

=...and what about the applications?=

Vesicles aren't necessary for Infector Detector. Cell By Date needs a long life span, not served by In Vitro systems. Time, once again... The application experiments in-veso are out of reach. 

=So how do we present at the Jamboree?= We play only our best cards... End presentation
