Engineering Success | We demonstrated engineering success for the reaction conditions of our in vitro evolutionary experiments, finding a cell-free expression system, and improving the expression of the genetic construct | Read all about this on our Engineering page |
Collaboration | Our collaboration efforts include hosting meetups with teams working with aptamers and vitamins, advising a team on their experimental procedures for the same in vitro evolution experiments as ours, and collaborating on the making of a cookbook | Read all about this on our Collaboration page |
Human Practices | We described how our project is responsible, impactful, and inclusive, by having conducted a value-sensitive design | Read all about this on our Human Practices page |
Proposed Implementation | We investigated how we can implement our project in the real world by conducting literature research and engaging with stakeholders | Read all about this on our Proposed Implementation page |

Integrated Human Practices | We integrated our human practices-related information obtained from stakeholders and experts, and adapted out project design accordingly during several project stages | Read all about this on our Integrated Human Practices page |
Project Modeling | We developed a deterministic kinetic model describing the biomolecular network of our system to help determine the sensitivity of our test and parameters impacting the output | Read all about this on our Modeling page |
Partnership | We partnered with the Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM 2021 team throughout the year by experimentally validating software-predicted aptamers | Read all about this on our Partnership page |
Education and Communication | We developed and implemented education and communication modules related to synthetic biology and our project | Read all about this on our Education and Communication page. |
Excellence in Another Area | We developed an entrepreneurship module, where we identified the market position of AptaVita | Read all about this on our Entrepreneurship page |
