Home The Team The Project Parts Submitted to the Registry Modeling Notebook



Welcome!

The IC GEMs team consists of ten 2nd year undergraduates from Bioengineering and Bioscience. Our genuine collective interest in healthcare led to the targetting of health and medicine related applications this year. Together with the vision of an industry, the strategy we adopted for our projects is to use the Engineering Cycle to create reliable Synthetic Biology products where standards and quality control are strictly kept.


Main Project - [http://parts.mit.edu/igem07/index.php/Imperial/Infector_Detector/Introduction Infector Detector]

Infector Detector is a system that will detect the presence of biofilm infections on urinary catheters by reporting on the presence of AHL, a signalling molecule used by E.coli, and output a fluorescent protein as a result.

MIT Teachers' workshop

Main Achievements

  • Designed and modelled a device to detect biofilms and prevent urinary catheter infections like MRSA
  • Successfully utilized cell-free chassis for Infector Detector
  • Characterised Infector Detector to detect AHL at ambient temperatures
  • Compared system expression to AHL Receiver (BBa_F2620) transfer function.

  • Discount DNA Synthesis from Geneart. iGEM's DNA synthesis partner offers iGEM teams highly discounted DNA synthesis: $0.20 per base and $35 shipping. Check out the resources box for more information.
  • Are you having trouble transforming your DNA from the 2008 Spring DNA Distribution? Please stay tuned. We have sent out a hard copy of the first volume of out iGEM Newsletter which has information discussing this with tips on how to get better results.
