Team TU-Delft - DIY Typhoon

Team TU-Delft is working on a low-cost DIY Typhoon as part of their Human Practices project! "Lab equipment is rather expensive, they usually range in several ten thousand dollars, which limits some iGEM teams in competing. The solution we are working on is by designing DIY lab equipment: easily assembled, low-cost equipment that still gives good performance. We are now designing a DIY Typhoon (name still to be decided), which can scan petri dishes and 96 well plates for expression of fluorescence at micrometer scale within 2 minutes for around 1500 dollars."

Photos of the designing and building process can be found on the team's Facebook album!

Team Bordeaux - Virtual Lab

Team Bordeaux - Virtual Lab

Team Bordeaux has created a software tool, and says: "For large teams with complicated assemblies strategies or team member rotating without easy way to keep track of what has been done it can be difficult to keep track of what step has been accomplished and which one is left to be done. We have created the Virtual Lab : a dedicated Online Information Management System to help Igem teams visualize the progress of their project in real time and share with their off-site team members. We would like to have the feed back from the Igem community to see if we can further improve the Users Interface and add more functionality. So please register your team and your project and let the Virtual Lab help you organize your remaining experiments."

Team Paris Bettencourt - survey

"Dear iGEMers,

The team Paris Bettencourt is studying the motivations of students / advisors / instructors to participate in iGEM. It would be extremely helpful, if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this survey. Thank you!"

Team Baskent Meds - Legionary Pneumophilia vs Escherichiastein Coli

"Hello there. We are Baskent Meds, Baskent University's iGEM team. We lived in our lab to create a monster Escherichiastein Coli that designed to murder Legionary Pneumophilia. Enjoy a short horror movie that's about our iGEM adventure!"

Team Cornell - Fungal Biomaterials

Team Cornell - Fungal Biomaterials

"This year Cornell iGEM is creating a novel fungal toolkit for higher order basidiomycetes using Ganoderma lucidum. The toolkit will include constructs with antibiotic resistance for selection, constitutive and inducible regulatory elements, fluorescence markers to detect expression levels, and constructs to test the potency of homologous recombination. In addition, Cornell iGEM aims to improve current mycelium-based biomaterials, such as those produced by Ecovative Design, by introducing targeted antifungal genes as well as carotenoid biosynthetic pathways."

Team SydneyUni Australia - Strange Nature

Team SydneyUni Australia says: "Strange Nature is an online platform for students and educators to explore synthetic biology. We showcase cool and informative videos, animations and resources, we host an opinion poll and a short quiz about common misconceptions, and most importantly, we are running a science-writing competition for high-school students. The theme is 'What problems will be caused or solved by synthetic biology?'"
