Emphasizing equitable and inclusive access to research opportunities, the University of Maryland's Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) empowers undergraduates and faculty to engage and succeed in inquiry, creative activity, and scholarship. This collection includes materials shared by undergraduate researchers during OUR events. It also encompasses materials from Undergraduate Research Day 2020, Undergraduate Research Day 2021, and Undergraduate Research Day 2022, which were organized by the Maryland Center for Undergraduate Research.

    Cell-free expression technology is cutting-edge research that would allow for increased flexibility, reliability, and versatility in the development of biosensors. This project is a joint between the Molecular Diagnostics and Cell-Ex labs in the FIRE program at the University of Maryland, in which we examine the usability of cell-free expression for workflows that differ from what they have been designed for, and conduct research into the feasibility of creating our own cell-free extract for further experimentation. In doing so, we determine the feasibility of using cell-free extract across different lab workflows, the possibility of creating it , and the cost-effectiveness of doing so versus commercial alternatives.
