Bacteriophage Project@Hackuarium
By Jonathan Sobel
3D modeling
• Small molecules• Protein• Virus• Other biological structures (root of Arabidopsis)
3D Printing Technology
Plastic laser-sintering system
Fused deposition modeling
• Educational purpose• Ergonomic• Buildable• Low-cost• Open Source
Bacteriophage Project
• In house competence for 3D model development
• Phage model available• Development of a bacterial model • Model usable for educational purpose • Phage therapy represents an alternative to
antibiotics (especially for multi-resistant bacteria)
• Phages are extensively used in research (antibody engineering)
Conclusions
Bacteriophage Biology
Phage T7 genome 40Kbp dsDNA55 proteins encoded
