We’re a team of eight excited undergraduates from Sydney University, with huge interests in biochemistry and bioengineering. We’re new to iGEM this year, but fingers crossed, we'll do well and have a blast while doing it!
Most of our work involves trying to build a pathway to degrade dichloroethane, a contaminant in the groundwater at Botany Bay. By engineering bacteria that could perform this degradation, wehope to provide a clean and simple way to clean up industrial chemical wastes.
We’ve also created a writing competition for Australian high-school students based on the topics of synthetic biology. By exposing kids and their schools to this at a young age, we hope to increase community awareness and appreciation for what we do.
