<h1>A toolkit to facilitate chimeric antigen receptor assembly</h1>
</div>
<p>While designing our chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), we noticed that CARs contain an inherently
modular structure: every CAR requires an extracellular domain to recognize a target,
a transmembrane domain to transduce signal into the cell, and an intracellular domain to
induce some reaction by the cell. This realization inspired us to design CAR-TK, a
chimeric antigen receptor toolkit that facilitates modular assembly of CARs.

<h1>An open-source hardware device for continuous rotation of microfuge tubes</h1>
</div>
<p>Many protocols—for our project's purposes, protein purification in particular—require constant but gentle mixing of
small quantities of liquids for extended periods of time. Our lab does not have the expensive equipment
capable of this, so we designed and built an end-over-end rotating device and packaged our code
and hardware for future teams and researchers to construct their own end-over-end spinner.

<h1>An open-source software tool for codon optimization</h1>
</div>
<p>After designing DNA sequences, it is crucial to ensure they contain codons easily recognized
by the desired host organism's translation machinery. During our design process, we struggled
with finding easy-to-use and accurate codon optimization software, so we developed our own.
