Project
Inspired by the heart and its rhythm, our team sought to aid those of us who are in need of continuous drug monitoring. To achieve this goal we transformed ourselves into real dance instructors as we introduced a continuous rhythm in HEK cells.
Team
The story of our team starts with 4 bioscience engineers who were eager to expand their knowledge and learn vital practical skills. Almost 1 year later they were joined by 9 motivated students and so the Avengers… I mean the 2017 KULeuven iGEM team was formed.
KU LEUVEN
Located just 30 kilometers from Brussels lies the educational beating heart of Belgium, the city of Leuven. It is home to the KULeuven, one of the oldest universities in Europe. Allow us to tell you some fun facts about Leuven.
Fact number 1: Did you know that Leuven is famously home to the biggest bar in the world?
