GenScript iGEM Headquarters 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 Headquarters (1/5)

GenScript iGEM Headquarters 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 Headquarters 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)

We are an undergraduate student research team trying to make the environment safer by reducing fungal infestation that cause severe illnesses among immunocompromised patients. Please RT the following to help us win a $2000 grant for the project and make it a success 👇

All the best guys

We had a highly informative session on India Cares's #TwitterSpace yesterday, where experts talked about concerns related to the White & #BlackFungus. Our project extensively focuses on tackling these kinds of fungal infestation in the environment & we received great inputs.

Hearty congratulations 🎉 to Dr. Sukhendu Mandal from School of Chemistry, IISER Thiruvananthapuram for being enlisted in the "World's Top 2% Scientists" catalogue of Stanford University and Elsevier .
