What is design? The way we are actually employing synthetic biology to achieve our goal. This is how we are planning on eliminating toxic stx phenotypes without harming the resident bacterial population. To this end, we are developing a method for detection of Shiga Toxin utilizing an aptamer based lateral flow assay, and a treatment for the elimination of the stx gene. Click on a tile to uncover the details of detection and the three components of our elimination mechanism.
