We have three (top secret) medically-related projects. Without getting into the details, we'll be programming bacteria to 1) synthesize a desired biomolecule 2) sense/indicate the presence of an unnamed chemical in its microenvironment and 3) synchronize an entire population to work together as a synthetic biological clock. Much more details will be available soon, after we submit our project ideas to the iGEM administration. Our group is also interested in environmental biological engineering. A lofty goal of ours is to utilize synthetic biology engineering principles in the metabolic engineering of bacteria for the bioproduction of renewable energy alternatives such as dihydrogen. <br /> | |||

2007 Virginia Genetically Engineered Machine (VGEM) Team
Welcome to the VGEM Team OWW wiki! The VGEM Team was founded by George McArthur to enable the University of Virginia to send an undergraduate bioengineering team to compete in MIT's international Genetically Engineered Machines competition (iGEM). The objective of the competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using DNA. Systems will be constructed from standard biological parts. Last year, there were around 40 schools participating from around the world (see map). You can read more about the competition here. We'll be adding new information regularly, so be sure to check up on us soon.

PlanningDuring our weekly meetings throughout the spring semester, we'll be discussing relevant literature and developing project ideas. Our actual experiments will occur during the summer session, and we hope to have our results in order by the beginning of the fall semester in September. DocumentationResources |
