- | Synthetic biology is a new challenge in biosciences. It combines biology and engineering principles to design and build new biological functions and systems. Examples are abound: cancer cell invading bacteria, microbes that take pictures, antimalarial drug producers,... The advantage of using living systems for these purposes is that, once they are designed and built, they are self-reproducible. The challenge, however lies exactly within the design and construction: making biological circuits and devices as robust and predictive as their electrical counterparts. | + | <p> |

Wellcome to the KULeuven 2008 iGEM team page!
The 2008 iGEM team of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven works on a bacterial drug delivery system, for instance for the production of a peptide such as vasoactive intestinal peptide as a potential treatment for Crohn's disease. The bacterial drug delivery system will have several advantages over classical drugs. These are (a) the bacterium will produce the exact amount of drug necessary for each individual by means of a feedback control mechanism, (b) the bacterium will die upon a long symptomless period and (c) a possible development towards drugs being taken up in the bloodstream.
