ʻO ka hui Tsinghua-TFL, ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a Polofesa Pan Junmin, aia he 10 mau haumāna lae pua a me 3 mau moho kauka mai ke Kula o nā ʻEpekema Ola, ke Kulanui ʻo Tsinghua. Manaʻo ka hui e hoʻohana i ka hoʻololi biology synthetic o nā meaola chassis hoʻohālike photosynthetic -limu liʻiliʻi, me ka nānā ʻana i ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi hale hana hoʻopaʻa kalapona a me ka hana ʻana i ka starch no Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (StarChlamy) kūpono loa e hāʻawi i kahi kumu meaʻai hou, e hōʻemi ana i ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ka ʻāina mahiʻai.

Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hui, i kākoʻo ʻia e ka hui alumni ʻo Tsinghua Life Sciences,Protoga Biotech Co., Ltd., ke hoʻohana nei i kahi ʻano kākoʻo like ʻole i hāʻawi ʻia eʻO Protoga Biotech me nā hale hana hoʻokolohua, nā kikowaena hana, a me nā kumuwaiwai kūʻai aku.

I kēia manawa, ke kū nei ka honua i kahi pilikia ʻāina koʻikoʻi, me nā hana mahiʻai kuʻuna e kau nei i ka hilinaʻi nui i ka ʻāina no nā mea kanu meaʻai, e hoʻonui ana i ka pilikia ākea o ka pōloli ma muli o ka nele o ka ʻāina mahiʻai.

No ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia, ua hāpai ka hui Tsinghua-TFL i kā lākou hopena - ke kūkulu ʻana olimu liʻiliʻi hale hana hoʻopaʻa kalapona photobioreactor ma ke ʻano he kumu meaʻai hou e hōʻemi ai i ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ka ʻāina mahiʻai no nā mea kanu meaʻai.

TUa kuhikuhi ka hui i nā ala metabolic o ka starch, kahi meaʻai nui i nā mea kanu meaʻai, e hana pono i ka starch mailimu liʻiliʻi a hoʻomaikaʻi i kona ʻano ma ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hapa o ka amylose.

I ka manawa like, ma o nā hoʻololi biology synthetic i nā hopena māmā a me ke kaʻina hana Calvin i ke kaʻina hana photosynthesis olimu liʻiliʻi, ua hoʻonui lākou i ka pono o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ke kalapona photosynthetic, no laila e hana ana i kahi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi HōkūKlamy.

Ma hope o ke komo ʻana i ka 20th International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM) hope loa ma Palisa mai Nowemapa 2 a hiki i ka 5 2023, ua loaʻa i ka hui Tsinghua-TFL ka makana Gula, ka koho "Best Plant Synthetic Biology", a me ka koho "Best Sustainable Development Impact", e hopu ana i ka manaʻo no kāna papahana hou a me nā hiki noiʻi koʻikoʻi.

Ua lawelawe ka hoʻokūkū iGEM ma ke ʻano he kahua no nā haumāna e hōʻike i nā hoʻokō hou ma ke kahua o ka ʻepekema ola a me ka ʻenehana, e alakaʻi ana i ke alo o ka ʻenekinia genetic a me ka biology synthetic. Eia kekahi, pili ia i ka laulima interdisciplinary me nā kahua e like me ka makemakika, ka ʻepekema kamepiula, a me nā helu helu, e hāʻawi ana i kahi kahua kūpono no nā hoʻololi haumāna ākea.

Mai ka makahiki 2007, ua paipai ke Kula o nā ʻEpekema Ola ma ke Kulanui ʻo Tsinghua i nā haumāna lae pua e hoʻokumu i nā hui iGEM. I nā makahiki he iwakālua i hala iho nei, ua komo ma mua o ʻelua haneli mau haumāna i kēia hoʻokūkū, a ua loaʻa iā lākou nā hanohano he nui. I kēia makahiki, ua hoʻouna ke Kula o nā ʻEpekema Ola i ʻelua mau hui, ʻo Tsinghua lāua ʻo Tsinghua-TFL, e hana i ka hoʻolimalima ʻana, ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka hui, ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka papahana, ka hoʻokolohua ʻana, a me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā wiki. I ka hopena, ua hana pū nā lālā 24 i komo e hāʻawi i nā hopena kūpono ma o kēia pilikia ʻepekema a me ka ʻenehana.
