Introduction

At Scentinel, our goal is to not only develop innovative solutions for visually impaired women through synthetic biology but also to contribute knowledge, data, and tools that can help future iGEM teams in their projects. Our work aims to combine science and empathy to create meaningful change. Through the course of our project, we have made significant contributions to the iGEM community, which we are proud to share.



Registry Contributions

One of our major contributions to the iGEM community is the addition of 15 Basic Parts and 19 Composite Parts to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Each part has undergone thorough experimental validation, ensuring that they meet the desired functionality. Below are some of the key highlights of our contribution:



Technical Contributions

Our team has developed detailed protocols, experimental designs, and vector construction strategies that can serve as important references for future iGEM participants. Specifically:

These contributions to the iGEM knowledge base aim to ensure that teams interested in fragrance compound synthesis, especially those working on similar topics, have a robust set of resources to draw from.



Human Practices Contributions

Our project explores a unique and underserved area: addressing the challenges visually impaired women face during their menstrual cycles. Through extensive human practice activities, we have gained deep insights into how synthetic biology can help solve this societal issue. Some of the key outcomes include:
