• We are students of high school and first semesters of college. • Under the guidance of PhD. Raúl Cuero, who is our mentor. • Dr. Cuero founded the IPOC
Name: Ruiz snowcapped mountain Height: 5.389 m (17,784 @.) Extension: 58.300 ha
AtlanZc Ocean Pacific Ocean Manizales • The world is running out of potable water. • Device detects ions of sea water and separate them by breaking the bonds of the sea water molecules. • More available potable water. • CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PARTS! RNA switch / Cytochrome C / Ion Channels / Proteins
Goals: • • Purify sea water • Use the neural and E‐nose algorithms to experimentally analyze data and to further predict addiZonal unknown informaZon
DEVICE COMPONENTS Chassis: Geobacillus stearotermophilus • (Thermopile Bacterium) Ion Channels: • E. Coli ‐TonB ‐ExbB Promoters: Cytochrome C: • T7 Promoter • Iron (Fe Cuero) Proteins: Reporter: ‐Chloride ‐Sodium • Cyan Reporter RNA Switch: ON RBS: Stop: OFF ON OFF
