@GenScript @iGEM Our iGEM team is working to make an #impact by reducing fungal contamination and sporulation in diverse settings like commercial residences, hospitals, and agriculture. 🧬 @GenScript @iGEM (1/5)
@GenScript @iGEM Moulds affect human health. #Aspergillosis infection severely affects the respiratory system in humans. Mucormycosis is a severe invasive fungal infection mainly affecting immunocompromised patients. 🔬 (2/5)
@GenScript @iGEM Development of cavitary pulmonary mucormycosis is increasingly reported in SARS-CoV2 patients. Glucocorticoids used for the treatment of Covid lead to secondary fungal infection. Our solution will potentially degrade the infection source & prevent further complications. 🧫 (3/5)
@GenScript @iGEM Moulds severely affect agriculture. 🌱 Each year, grain moulds of Sorghum in India cause damage of around 3 to 5 billion rupees. Rubber plantations suffer a huge agricultural loss due to fungal contamination. Our solution is eco-friendly and reduces pesticide use. 🧑🌾 (4/5)
@GenScript @iGEM The success ✌ of our project, where we design a broad-spectrum antifungal solution, will cater to this wide range of problems raised by fungus. 🦠
