IGEM:IMPERIAL/2009/MultiPill Feedback

Feedback from MultiPill Project

• The body language does not convey exitement about the idea, it makes it more difficult for people to be positive about your idea.
• Encoding of information using light wavelength and pulse(temporal encoding)
• A lot of biological detail that is maybe a bit too condensed
• Too ambitious?
  • We have to perform, we need results
  • Good conceptual framework
  • What are we going to do in the lab
  • Can you encapsulate bacteria, can you produce drugs
• What are the fondamental things that we want to check?
  • Transport from A to B, seems possible, Kun found evidence
• Why have moved towards more complex from a simpler project
  • Delivery and scretion of proteins triggered this migration
• Fondametal problem
  • Drug approval: key bit is the definition of dose, this would never pass FDA

Engineering points

• This is a competition: we are out there to win
  • We have to do well this time
  • College Money: ~£35k/year
  • Its not a research project
  • Deliver something that WORKS
  • Today, the competition is tougher, we need to perform, the criteria are stronger
• Last week's project was god, simple, it is placed in the pharmaceutical strategies
• If you can break the project down into phase, it can have a progress report
