Only Two Days Left!!

With only 48 hours left on our campaign, we are 91% funded! Almost there, but still 9% to go! We'd like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have contributed to our campaign, and would like to ask you to help us spread the word. You're supporting some amazing research and development, and helping to provide undergraduates with invaluable lab experiences.

We'd also like to highlight that, thanks to our loyal iGEM 2010 alumni, the most recent donations have been matched, doubling your contributions! There is still $200 of matching available, so please consider contributing now to make double the impact.

Thank you again for your support!

About This Project

For commercial shellfish farmers and recreational hunters alike, marine biotoxins pose a significant threat to health and welfare. With this project, we aim to create an inexpensive and easy-to-use test kit for the detection of the small molecules auxin and theophylline using engineered yeast strains and DNA aptamers on a paper device. We hope that this project paves the way for a new class of biosensors capable of detecting a wide range of molecules, including the shellfish toxin okadaic acid.
