For instance, while the biotechnologists and molecular biologists focus on designing and conducting lab experiments, the bioinformaticians contribute crucial insights for data analysis and genome sequencing. The inclusion of a media production expert adds another layer to the team’s capabilities, ensuring that science communication and project documentation are handled professionally, which is particularly important for presenting their work at conferences and competitions. The multidisciplinary structure of this team evolved naturally as they identified the project’s needs and recruited members who could fill specific roles. Over time, this multidisciplinary structure has continued to develop as the team’s project evolved. Roles became more defined as team members took on specific responsibilities, whether it was refining prime editing systems or crafting - communication strategies for iGEM. The range of experience across the team, from younger students like Vincent Carl Stöckl in the early stages of their academic careers to more advanced students in later semesters, allows for a blend of fresh perspectives and seasoned expertise. This balance helps ensure both the immediate success of the project and the continuity of its progress in the future. + communication strategies for iGEM.

The proposal aimed to overcome the limitations of traditional treatments, such as radiotherapy and cisplatin, which often damage healthy cells and result in numerous side effects. The microswimmers would be biodegradable algae-based vehicles, magnetically guided to deliver drugs directly to cancerous cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
