Introducing the iGEM 2023 East Coast Biocrew Team: RhizeUP!
This year, we are working to solve the problem of phosphate runoff that affects water sources throughout the country by engineering rhizobacteria and the plants they live with.
We can't wait to present our results!

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic chemical compounds that can be detected worldwide. Although they were banned in the U.S. in 1979, PCBs still contaminate many waterways in the country. Current methods of decontamination are inefficient.

Symptoms included weakness, vomiting, rashes, headaches, memory loss, metabolic disorders, and even cancer. This could be caused by PCB levels combined with other harmful substances such as asbestos or radon.
