Shape-shifting Team

Team Bio

Our Project

Abstract

Our aim is to shape the bacteria to fit different molds using the microfluidics system, model the biophysical characteristics of bacterial cell membrane, and see what happens when we switch the cell wall synthesis back on.

Weekly Progress

Day 1. June 10th 2013

Morning

We started a discussion of our sub-project, doing some research into project presentation: wiki layout, t-shirt design and possible team logos. We looked at precedents for inspirational ideas.,

Afternoon

Learn about Computational Modelling and BioBrick concepts. Decided to start with biophysical modelling of the lipid membrane of Bacillus Subtilis and modelling of lipid synthetic pathway. 600x400

Day 2. June 11th 2013

Morning

Modelling Exercise. Identifying components and species of subtilin biosynthesis pathway.

Afternoon

Correlating numbers to processes in systems biology modelling.
