Team:Tianjin

Welcome to Our Tianjin University's wiki

Welcome to Tianjin University’s 2008 iGEM team, which is composed of 8 undergraduate students, and one graduate student.

Last year, the innovative design of genetic bio diode and RS clip-flock successfully brought us back a gold medal from MIT. And for 2008, we will come around with a synthetic bistable ecosystem and a foolproof self-assembly gene device.

Our 2008 iGEM team was founded in November 2007. The various major backgrounds of the team members make interactions of different disciplines possible and largely resulted in a lot of innovative and intriguing ideas. We have designed a device that could recognize the tumor cells from regular cells and could theoretically trigger the death of tumor cells; we have also come up with some funny designs to mimic the electronic devices. We even designed all the roles in the drama play in which good triumphs the evil during the torch relay of the Olympics.

Tianjin University

Tianjin University was founded as Peiyang University in 1895 as the first state founded university in China, and In 1951, after restructuring, Peiyang University was renamed Tianjin University, and became one of the largest multidisciplinary engineering universities in China. Now Tianjin University is among the leading research institutes in China and particularly exceeds its peers in chemical engineering.
