|We are the inaugural iGEM team here at the University of Illinois.  We are very excited to be participating and look forward to a summer full of fun, learning, and hopefully a successful project.

''For our project we intend to create a yeast-based biosensor capable of detecting and signalling the presense of a pathogen.  We intend to use directed evolution to develop a cell surface receptor capable of binding the pathogen.  This receptor will then initiate a signaling cascade which will induce a change in the yeast, a color change for example.  This project is important because there is a demonstrated need for cheap and effective monitoring of water-borne pathogens in the third world where traditional detection methods are not feasible.''
