2007 Virginia Genetically Engineered Machine (VGEM) Team

Welcome to the VGEM Team's wiki! The VGEM Team will compete in MIT's 2007 international Genetically Engineered Machines competition (iGEM). The objective of the competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using standard biological parts made from DNA. There will be 57 teams from all over the world participating this year. We'll be adding new information regularly, so be sure to check up on us soon.

We have three (top secret) medically-related projects. More details will be available soon. Our group is also interested in environmental biological engineering and we'll be pursuing additional projects throughout the summer.

Planning

During 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.

Engineering is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege.

- Herbert Hoover (1874-1964)
