Foundational technologies

  • Discussion leader: George M.


  • Foundations for engineering biology link


  • Economics of synthetic biology link


  • The iGEM competition: building with biology link
    • Purpose: This article describes the history of MIT's international Genetically Engineered Machine competition including brief descriptions of BioBricks and the Registry of Standard Biological Parts.


  • Problem-based learning exercise
    • One of the major goals of this course is to stimulate the independent, critical thinking and problem-solving that is necessary to operate a student research group such as the Virginia Genetically Engineered Machine Team. To jump-start this, we will work together as a group to try to solve a problem. Our goal is to produce hydrogen gas from microorganisms. How should we go about doing this?
