PENN STATE iGEM 2008

Welcome to the Penn State iGEM 2008 team’s website. We are currently working hard at a few different projects for this year's competition. Our main focus for 2008 was the elimination of diauxie in E. coli to create a xylose inducible system independent of glucose regulation. This system could be used for creating more efficient bioproduction by altering the utilization of 5 and 6 carbon sugars.

We also have been working on creating biosensors that use human nuclear hormone receptors to recognize potentially harmful compounds. These receptor systems occur naturally in the human body, but our goal is to retain and utilize their functions in E. coli. Please explore our website to find out more about us and our projects!

If there are any questions or comments about the information on this site please contact us at gjt5001@psu.edu.
