iGEM UPS-INSA Toulouse 2017
First steps of synthetic biology First edition of the iGEM competition Boolean algebra in E. coli Current challenges:
The living world offers a lot of possibilities, but their use is still limited in synthetic biology.
Our idea is about taking advantages of the characteristics of single microorganisms by making them communicate with each other to get the appropriate response.
V. cholerae is responsible for cholera, a disease that contaminates water and affects people in developing countries, war zones and natural disaster zones.
Our project is about creating a multi organisms system that is able to sense and wipe cholera out in contaminated water.
Biodiversity entails a lot of possibilities...
Quorum sensing
Light sensitive
Proteins secretion
High thermostability
What if they could communicate?
A fight against cholera as an application
