iGEM 2017 Projects




Take a look at a few amazing projects created by the iGEM 2017 teams!

UChile Biotec

Developed BiMaTox, a biosensor that detects marine toxins that are produced during harmful algal blooms, also known as red tides. The device is constructed in such a way that it is easy and simple to use, with the aim that, for example, fishermen can know when there are toxins in their fishing area.

SECA NZ

Worked on a variety of frost resistance genes into the model organisms Arabidopsis thaliana and Escherichia coli for characterisation. This will provide insight into the varying ability of frost resistance genes to protect model organisms at sub-zero temperatures, ultimately leading to the production of frost tolerant crops.

Wageningen UR

Created the Mantis project aims to detect antigens in blood samples of patients using an in vivo bacterial system, allowing for efficient diagnosis even in rural areas. Mantis is fast, robust, modular, and requires little equipment. Moreover, the whole-cell system allows for more affordable production and longer storage compared to current systems.

ECUST

Aimed to expand the absorption spectrum of photosynthetic bacteria by the way of foster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in order to improve the efficiency of the photoreaction. On top of that, they also designed a photo-reactor special for bio-hydrogen production to solve the problem of applying it on a large scale.

Cornell

United States

Food & Nutrition
Hydroponics farmers face low crop yields due to diseases and nutrient imbalances. Cornell iGEM developed a novel redox biosensor in E. coli that uses a redox-sensitive fluorescent protein reporter to couple an optogenetic transcriptional circuit to an external optics system.

To Our Community

We at iGEM Headquarters want to take a moment to remind everyone that we are truly an international and diverse community. We take our values seriously and believe the international aspect of iGEM is a large part of what makes iGEM a success. Like many of you, we have been paying close attention to recent events in the United States and will continue to do so in the coming weeks and months. We have begun and will continue to have discussions here at HQ with the focus on making sure all of our teams can participate openly in iGEM. If you have any concerns or suggestions, please send us a message at hq AT igem DOT org.

Sincerely,
iGEM HQ
