Synthetic Biology at Saint Mary’s College 1. Previous experience 2. Application in courses a. Vidya – Genetics lab course b. Valerie – Special Topics in Chemistry lecture course 3. Research

a. Engineered biosynthesis of biologically active natural products (or precursors) i. Taxol Challenge – work already in progress! ex. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2006, 93, (2) ii. Other targets?! Challenge – finding biosynthetic pathways

3. Research b. Pollutant detectors i. Pyrethroids: very low concentrations are toxic Can synthetic biology provide lower detection methods? challenge – Na + channel disruptor ii. Endocrine disruptors (herbicides, pesticides, additives) bisphenols; chlordanes; PCBs; etc.

Lipid Soluble Drug HRE GFP Hormone Responsive gene HREP Applications: 1.Detection of certain endocrine disruptors Detection limits? 2. Screening to identify compounds as endocrine disruptors Endocrine disruptors strategy (maybe):
