Team:Queens Canada/tour2

This summer we engineered the nematode worm C. elegans to build a bioremediation toolkit.

To get a quick overview of our project, take a look of the video to the right where Adrian, Stephanie, Tony and Allister give a rundown of the summer objectives.

Why Bioremediation?

The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) team at Queen's University is called QGEM, composed of a group of undergraduate students from Kingston, Canada.

We spent the summer in the lab working on the nematode worm C. elegans to create a bioremediation toolkit.

As the principal goal of our project, modifying the worm's normal chemotaxis mechanism to increase it's
