What is Synthetic Biology?
  • Synthetic Biology is the shift from Understanding and modifying biology to treating biology as an engineering discipline where basic building blocks are assembled from the ground up into larger engineered systems
Goals of Synthetic biology
  • Develop tools to work at increasing levels of abstraction, and to enable facile manufacturing of designs
  • Leverage expertise from established engineering disciplines
  • Ultimately, forward engineer novel solutions to diverse problems

What is Synthetic Biology?

  • Synthetic Biology is the shift from Understanding and modifying biology to treating biology as an engineering discipline where basic building blocks are assembled from the ground up into larger engineered systems

  • Goals of Synthetic Biology

  • Develop tools to work at increasing levels of abstraction, and to enable facile manufacturing of designs
  • Leverage expertise from established engineering disciplines
  • Ultimately, forward engineer novel solutions to diverse problems

  • What was our motivation?

    Because of the manufacturing and power plants in addition to other factors, Tacoma Washington has a lot of pollution specifically traces of arsenic. Because of this, we developed a way to detect arsenic using our designed circuit to test soil and water samples

    • A clear and concise description of your project.
    • A detailed explanation of why your team chose to work on this particular project.
    • References and sources to document your research.
    • Use illustrations and other visual resources to explain your project.

    Advice on writing your Project Description

    We encourage you to put up a lot of information and content on your wiki, but we also encourage you to include summaries as much as possible. If you think of the sections in your project description as the sections in a publication, you should try to be consist, accurate and unambiguous in your achievements.

    Judges like to read your wiki and know exactly what you have achieved. This is how you should think about these sections; from the point of view of the judge evaluating you at the end of the year.

    References

    iGEM teams are encouraged to record references you use during the course of your research. They should be posted somewhere on your wiki so that judges and other visitors can see how you thought about your project and what works inspired you.

    Inspiration

    See how other teams have described and presented their projects:
