Genes in Space

Ambassador & Mentorship for "Space Station Explorers" and "Genes in Space" 

Mentorship for the project "Genes in Space": To help American & Canadian students to design a DNA experiment that addresses challenges in space travel and deep space exploration (cosmic rays and DNA). I had a training with "Genes in Space" and I was selected for a loan of PCR machine, electrophoresis and transilluminators new generation. The competition is sponsored by miniPCR, Math for America, Boeing, New England Biolabs, Inc., and the ISS National Laboratory. 

PCR machine, electrophoresis, transilluminators, fluorescence viewer.

2 kinds of DNA, kanamycin, etc.

Genes in Space & visualizing the flow of genetic information and monitor transcription + translation in real-time through fluorescence: DNA/RNA/Protein

'BioBits® pellets are tiny molecular factories that can create proteins without the need for cell culture.'
