The purpose of lecture was to introduce and present advantages of genetically encoded sensors for detection of intracellular calcium and pH.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 4017690Group initiated research using the approach of synthetic biology and organized a student team from the University of Ljubljana, which in the years 2006 to 2009 successfully completed research projects. In 2006 and 2008 our team won the “Grand Prize” award at the international competition in Synthetic biology iGEM2006 held at the elite university MIT, USA. The media extensively reported on both achievements. A wide response was encountered also in the international media: reports in journals and newspapers.
D.10 Educational activities
COBISS.SI-ID: 4068378(1) With the industry from abroad, company DSM Food Technology, the Netherlands, we have developed a new product, which is protected with patent (VAN PEIJ, N.N.M.E., PARENICOVA, L, BENČINA, M, IVIČAK, K: international publication no. WO2008053019 A2, 2008). (2) In collaboration with Slovenian industry (Bia Separations d.o.o.), a new product was developed and new function of existing product was determined. Achievements were described in several scientific papers.
