The LabCoat of the Future
$50,000 in grants
Winner
BioFabrics: This team from MIT’s Wyss Institute has designed smart lab coats that can detect and respond to pathogens and toxins using synthetic biology. Proof-of-concept has been demonstrated through experiments with the Zika virus and freeze-dried SynthBio LacZ sensors. SynthBio’s wearable textiles technology can also be incorporated into gloves, body, head & eye ancillary fabrics, as well as filters and respirators.

Timeline
为什么这个挑战对我们很重要：
While science impacts our daily lives in countless ways, many do not appreciate the value that scientific innovation brings to society, and how it permeates our everyday lives. Science is often considered complex and shrouded in mystery. As champions of science, we aim to raise awareness and foster dialogue around the impact of scientific innovation and its role in our society.
