Team:SydneyUni Australia
From 2013.igem.org
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 involved trying to build a pathway to degrade dichloroethane, a contaminant in the groundwater at Botany Bay. By assembling a pathway for pollutant degradation, we hope to learn by building and clean up industrial wastes.
We’ve also created the Strange Nature writing competition for Australian high-school students. By allowing students and their schools to explore Synthetic Biology, we hope to encourage reflection, imagination and excitement about the future.
