Vincent 17:18, 9 July 2007 (EDT): A page to describe briefly the projects the team is exploring, and to link to their documentation.
Projects@Imperial.iGEM2007
The Imperial iGEM'07 team's choice of endeavour, and the culmination of all our brainstorming sessions.
Having endured a grueling 2 weeks brainstorming for feasible ideas, the iGEM team narrowed its selection to a few ideas, and came up with proposals for each in a hope that at least one would convince the academic staff of its worthiness as a project to pursue over 8 weeks. Our efforts paid off - and we present our prospective undertakings:
Part Characterization
In-Veso Gene Expression
For more information, follow the link above to the In-Veso Gene Expression pages.
Hrp System
For more information, follow the link above to the Hrp System pages.
Current Projects
Cell By Date
For more information, follow the link above to the Cell By Date pages. Project title coined by James Chappell.
Biofilm Detector
For more information, follow the link above to the Biofilm Detector pages.
Interesting Parts from the Registry
The gems we saw in our play set.
Reporters
Any reporters that might be used for the projects
Unapproved Proposals
Bac-to-Insulin
More info to be added.
pH Buffering Machine
For more information, follow the link above to the pH Buffering Machine page.
Bacterial Thermostat|
More info to be added.
Biofilm Production
For more information, follow the link above to the Biofilm Production page.
Proposal Format
The proposal should satisfy the following statements:
- The project is worthwhile
- It will contribute to the field of synthetic biology and the registry of parts
- The project is relevant to iGEM
- It is an engineering project, not a science project
- The project is sound
- There is real science to back up what the project needs to achieve
- A plan of action to complete the project (fit into the engineering cycle)
- A rough schedule, or at least an indication of time required for each stage of the project
- The group is able to complete the project
- Show an understanding of the lab work required
- Show that literature is available (list references)
A proposed format for the proposal is the following:
- Introduction
- What is the project? (Rough specification)
- Why is it worth pursuing?
- How is it relevant to iGEM?
- Background information and review of literature
- Summarise works relevant to the project
- Outline areas missing literature
- Project plan
- State the project objectives
- Explain how the project will be carried out to meet the objectives
- Break it down into constituent parts
- Identify possible areas of difficulty, and corresponding back-up strategies
- Identify techniques required (lab, modelling, etc.)
- Timeline
- Refer to engineering cycle
- Identify most time-consuming lab activities
- Show when each major stage should be completed by
Notes:
- Whenever possible, be quantitative
- Show understanding of the implications
- Outline the areas that are poorly understood (don't hide them)
Discarded Ideas
Ideas that didn't make the cut.
