2008 Virginia Genetically Engineered Machine Team

Welcome to the 2008 VGEM Team's OpenWetWare wiki. This wiki contains the internal workings of our team, including our online lab notebook, project designs and other useful information. The VGEM Team is an undergraduate research group interested in synthetic biology and biological engineering, and will compete in MIT's 2008 international Genetically Engineered Machines competition (iGEM) in November. Check on our official iGEM wiki for our final project description and our external website for more information about the team.

Acknowledgements

The VGEM Team was made possible by the generous support from the following groups at the University of Virginia:
The Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biology, and Microbiology
The School of Engineering and Applied Science and the The Virginia Engineering Foundation
The Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies
The School of Medicine
