Proof of Concepts

Biosensor

We accomplished the design, cloning, transformation, selection and expression of a genetic construction that finally led us to the expression of the 69.6 kD protein ESR1, which is verified with the polyacrylamide gel shown next. This is a huge achievement due to the implications it has.
