Biotechnology Program and Abraham Lincoln High School

Motivation for the UCSF iGEM 2011 Project

Our inspiration began from articles we read during our first meeting at Abraham Lincoln High School: Invention Awards: Eco-Friendly Insulation Made From Mushrooms

Beer Brings Yeast Together

Beautiful, Deadly Biofilms

After reading these articles we began a 2-week bootcamp to learn more about molecular biology techniques and the life cycle and growth of S. cerevisiae, the model organism we would use for our studies. The bootcamp culminated with a Team Challenge to determine the exact project we would pursue for the summer.
