ππ With over 60 projects this year - the environment track is the largest in the iGEM Competition. Nature is critical to our survival, but it is under increasing stress. Can #synbio be used to help?

iGEM Calgary aims to harness the tools of synbio to develop a holistic & innovative system of recovering rare earth elements. They plan to extract lanthanide-rich leachate from e-waste feedstock by engineering E. coli to express & secrete lanthanide-binding protein, lanmodulin.
