Overview of our project

55000 people die of rabies per year and about 95% of human deaths occur in Asia and Africa. We hope our project can reach the WHO goal of being free of human rabies by 2020. The section shows the core consideration of our project.

Yersinia pestis and flea

Y.pestis can form biofilms to colonize proventricular of flea. Blocked fleas can transfer Yersinia pestis to host. The mechanism has been widely researched. Although it is too early for us to release cleaning flea, we do spend much time in thinking of this mechanism. You can find the details of this interesting mechanism in this section.

Cellular automata

In order to know whether safe moving vaccine factory can reach 70% vaccination coverage of dogs, Cellular automata model has been used to simulate the spreading of immunity.

Judging form

This year is the first time we attend iGEM. And we apply to attend this competition on 27/04/2013. It must be a big challenge for anyone to finish iGEM in just six month. We finish this hard work with trial and error. From our judging form, you can know what we have done in six month.

Helpful Idea

We are iGEMers this year! It is a big challenge for us to finish the assessment of safety at the beginning of our work. We think every new iGEMers will face this kind of challenge. So we make a conclusion on safety assessment for your new iGEMers guys! We hope this helpful idea can provide some useful information in safety assessment.
