This year our team collaborated with teams from TU DELFT and IONIS.
iGEM IONIS is a team based in Paris, France, that is creating an
at-home test to measure vitamin B12 in blood. Their goal is to aid
those who are vitamin B12 deficient due to their vegan diet. The TU
DELFT iGEM team is based in Delft in the Netherlands, and they are
producing a micronutrient detection kit to be used at point-of-care.
Their goal is to detect micronutrients, such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K,
in blood samples to help eliminate micronutrient deficiencies
worldwide. Our teams recognized the similarity of our goals and
decided to collaborate on a vitamin-based cookbook. TU DELFT decided
to take the lead on this collaboration. The cookbook features
culturally diverse recipes, including vegan and vegetarian recipes.
The cookbook can be found here.
