Hi everyone! I'm Geoffrey and I come from Albertville, city of the Olympics  1992. I'm a big big fan of the Vancouver Canucks and I'm sorry for the MIT but I don't think Boston will win the Stanley Cup this year! I'm french so I'm totally in love with cheese, bread and wine. You can find <a href="http://www.cuisine-french.com/cgi/mdc/l/en/recettes/fondue_savoyarde.html">here</a> the best food in the whole world! Try it is to adopt it. iGEM ​​is for me a wonderful life experience that I could not miss.

I am Felix Ciceron and I am studying molecular and cellular biology at the University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France.  I would like to work in bioremediation, bio-detection of pollution, or enzymatic engineering.  All of these fields require both laboratory and project skills.  I believe the iGEM competition is a tremendous way to get experience of working in a team, as it combines the spirit of competition with learning.

Laboratory work requires the using of complex equipment or performing delicate operations, it also involves the use of toxic, flammable or explosive. The execution of this work may cause accidents or serious poisoning; the effects can be immediate or insidious.  For this all reasons and during of our project .

Hey Folks! If you've started Clement's and Geoffrey's descriptions, you'll probably believe that we are obsessed by food. As French people, it's true. But we are also interested in many other things. For example, as you, I decided to launch into this Great Human Adventure because I'm convinced that Synthetic Biology is the futur and I'm looking forward to meet people from everywhere. Sport also represents a large part of my hobbies: running, cross-country biking, swimming, climbing... One last thing to fit with the French stereotype! Even if I come from the Alpes, I prefere dishes from the South like Ratatouille, Bouillabaisse or Soupe au Pistou.

Mon ambition est de devenir chercheur, à l'interface entre l'immunologie et la microbiologie. Mes autres passions sont le badminton, le bricolage et l'informatique. iGEM est en accord avec ce qui me passionne en biologie. J’attends de cette aventure qu'elle m'apporte une grande expérience et me plonge dans le monde scientifique, en me permettant de rencontrer des personnes avec une vision des sciences différente de la mienne.

Dear competitor, I did not have the pleasure to grow up between the beautiful mountains of the Alps. But since I'm studying in Grenoble, I'm taking the opportunity to go skiing or hiking. What better feeling than to admire this awesome landscape and thinking to the <a title="you should try to make (and eat) one !" href="http://www.meilleurduchef.com/cgi/mdc/l/fr/recettes/tartiflette_ill.html"> tartiflette</a> waiting for your return in the sweet heat of your beloved home ?

Beside this "food's poetry"  I'm studying physics (many different stuff, nuclear, optic, IT, modeling, a spoonful of electronic) and biotechnology at <a href="http://phelma.grenoble-inp.fr/"> Phelma</a> an engineering school. I like science in general, I practice archery and I'm very fond of rollerskating.

Hi all. I'm a student in information technology, therefore i became the IT guy of the group. Some would say I'm the shepherd of the group but I prefer to see myself as a glimmer of hope for my biologist teammates when their pc crashes down. But don't think I live in symbiosis with my computer, like most of Grenoblois I like outdoor activities such as trail, skiing or climbing.

Hey! I'm a student in microbiology and genetic engeenering. I participate to iGEM because it's an extraordinary opportunity to work on genetic engineering, and to have a real lab' life experience. Otherwise, what can I say, I come from Albertville like Geoffrey, incidentally I think he is right about cheese,bread and wine. I don't no what can I say moreover, so I think I will leave you with an expression from Savoie : "Qui boit trop de gnole casse la bagnole!"

Engineered bacteria might be accidentally or on purpose released in the environment. So, caution involves the implementation of different blocking to limit the propagation of these organisms in the nature:
+
-
</p>
+
-
+
-
<ul>
+
-
<li> Nutritional blocking: organisms could survive only with artificial substances. In this way, in case of release into the nature such organisms would die. </li>
+
-
<li> Evolutionary blocking: organisms couldn’t adapt themselves and evolve alone in the nature. This blocking prevents mutations of the organisms that allow them to survive. </li>
+
-
<li> Preprogrammed cellular death: implementation of a suicide gene which is inhibited during wet work. In this way, organisms couldn’t survive outside the laboratory. </li>
+
-
</ul>
+
-
+
-
<p>
+
-
Through the iGEM competition, we face to the risks of synthetic biology. So it’s important to deal with safety issues our project could cause.

During our project, mercury is conserved in the laboratory and is subjected to special treatment for elimination of heavy metals. About searchers, protections are simpler: it is necessary to work without contaminating the material. If it is contaminated, it shall not be touched with bare hands. Hence the use of protective equipment.

We are making a device that can quantify a component in water, such as heavy metals pollutants. Two models are being developed. One of them involves the use of the Mer sensor. We therefore need to use mercury to test this system. These raise the environmental issue of the toxic waste management. Liquid having Mercury or tips and dishes that are in contact with this toxic are kept in specials bins. This rubbish bin is then given to a society specialized into toxic waste treatment. A slip monitoring is sign up by every organism that is involved into the production, transportation and treatment of the toxic waste. When the later is cremated, the producer of the waste receive and attestation that must be kept as a proof of the appropriate treatment.

To my point of view, the most interesting aspect of the iGEM project is the collective construction of a new way of doing bioengineering. The modular approach is clearly more efficient in terms of experimental effort and it also helps understanding how cellular functions are organized. Implementing new functions in bacteria should in turn help to build up more efficient ways to represent the living beings complexity. Besides that, I like  and challenges and iGEM is all of this.

The system we develop needs to be kept off until we want to induce it. In order to achieve that, we develop a post-transcriptional switch mechanism. This system, extracted from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is highly similar to another one of E. coli. The later involve the management of numerous genes including virulence factors. The bacteria we use don’t have any gene coding for virulence factor so the risk doesn’t exist with our strain.

I am a biology and immunology teacher at the Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma. One of the important points of my teaching is to train students to be able to work at the interface of different scientific disciplines. iGem is a very exciting challenge that plunges us straight into interdisciplinarity and puts teachers and students face to face with what we aim for in our daily work. Personally I worked in bacterial genetics during my PhD, a field I left some 15 years ago and which I am more than happy to work in again with our team.

Rules are more or less restrictive for the scientist but follow same goals: protection of experimenter, persons who are in the experimental area, the local, and environment preservation. Our project is based on biomolecular experimentations. Each partner laboratories where we work are specialized in molecular biology and so have the needed equipment. What the Facility Security Engineer think about our project? Not particular attentions are needed concerning molecular biology experimentation but we are aware about chemical risks that can exist during manipulations. Most important risks are BET and mercury using. To avoid these latters, experiments are performed under chemical hoods and used contaminated materials are sterilized.

From the environmental point of view, simple and efficiency methods can be used like bacteria not able to survive outside by use Amino Acids which not existing in nature. It’s too possible to use rare carbon source for the bacteria. We can also use a suicide gene repress by a chemical molecule not found out of a laboratory. Another ways is to make bacteria weak face to the micro-organisms natural selection. For the researcher’s safety in lab, the work in sterile middle, overall and gloves wearing and all other standard protections things are evidently recommended.

To increase the safety off iGEM competition, we think about bacteria which have an inducible essential gene for binary division by a chemical not existing or rare in nature, by this way the bacteria can’t be divide itself so it will be not selected and going to disappear nearly.

We will soon discuss with people that have already worked with mercury or others heavy metals. At CEA some researchers worked on Microsystems devices to detect and quantify these pollutants. They will share their experience and knowledge with us about the way to conduct safe experiments with these chemicals and also about technical aspect of existing measurement device. We would like to compare our work, our biosystem to “technological only” system that already exist, in terms of precision, sensitivity, reliability and costs.

Grenoble 2011, Mercuro-Coli iGEM


The Team

We are a french team from Grenoble. A well known, city for skiing and nanotechnology. We are forming a joint team between biology students from Université Grenoble 1 (Joseph Fourier University) and engineer students from Grenoble INP Phelma (Grenoble Institute of technology) that have taken some more specialized courses in biotechnology.

The team will be composed of 11 students that will work in 7 different laboratories (lab directors in parentheses):

  • 2 microbiology laboratories (H. Geiselmann, I. Attree)
  • 3 laboratories of biotechnology (F. Bruckert, O. Peyret, D. Peyrade)
  • 1 Fundamental research laboratory (R. Calemczuk,)
  • 1 bioinformatics laboratory (H. de Jong).

Students

Geoffrey Bouchage

2nd year of engineering school
Grenoble Institute of Technolgy PHELMA

Hi everyone! I'm Geoffrey and I come from Albertville, city of the Olympics 1992. I'm a big big fan of the Vancouver Canucks and I'm sorry for the MIT but I don't think Boston will win the Stanley Cup this year! I'm french so I'm totally in love with cheese, bread and wine. You can find here the best food in the whole world! Try it is to adopt it. iGEM ​​is for me a wonderful life experience that I could not miss.

Felix Ciceron

M1 de Biologie Moléculaire et cellulaire
GRENOBLE Université Joseph FOURIER

I am Felix Ciceron and I am studying molecular and cellular biology at the University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France. I would like to work in bioremediation, bio-detection of pollution, or enzymatic engineering. All of these fields require both laboratory and project skills. I believe the iGEM competition is a tremendous way to get experience of working in a team, as it combines the spirit of competition with learning.

Marion Cristea

2nd year of Engineering School in Biotechnologies
Grenoble Institute of Technolgy PHELMA

Hey Folks! If you've started Clement's and Geoffrey's descriptions, you'll probably believe that we are obsessed by food. As French people, it's true. But we are also interested in many other things. For example, as you, I decided to launch into this Great Human Adventure because I'm convinced that Synthetic Biology is the futur and I'm looking forward to meet people from everywhere. Sport also represents a large part of my hobbies: running, cross-country biking, swimming, climbing... One last thing to fit with the French stereotype! Even if I come from the Alpes, I prefere dishes from the South like Ratatouille, Bouillabaisse or Soupe au Pistou.

Morgane DeGasperi

M1 de Biologie Moléculaire et cellulaire
GRENOBLE Université Joseph FOURIER

I am a student in immunology and virology, with great biochemistery acknowledgement. The project lead by our team is a very great experience in every point of view.

Eric Durandeau

M1 de Biologie Moléculaire et cellulaire
GRENOBLE Université Joseph FOURIER

Mon ambition est de devenir chercheur, à l'interface entre l'immunologie et la microbiologie. Mes autres passions sont le badminton, le bricolage et l'informatique. iGEM est en accord avec ce qui me passionne en biologie. J’attends de cette aventure qu'elle m'apporte une grande expérience et me plonge dans le monde scientifique, en me permettant de rencontrer des personnes avec une vision des sciences différente de la mienne.

Maxime Huet

2ème année d’ école d’ingénieur en Biotechnologie
Grenoble INP PHELMA

Dear competitor, I did not have the pleasure to grow up between the beautiful mountains of the Alps. But since I'm studying in Grenoble, I'm taking the opportunity to go skiing or hiking. What better feeling than to admire this awesome landscape and thinking to the tartiflette waiting for your return in the sweet heat of your beloved home ?

Beside this "food's poetry" I'm studying physics (many different stuff, nuclear, optic, IT, modeling, a spoonful of electronic) and biotechnology at Phelma an engineering school. I like science in general, I practice archery and I'm very fond of rollerskating.

Jean-Baptiste Lugagne

2nd year of engineer school in signal processing
Grenoble INP PHELMA

Hi all. I'm a student in information technology, therefore i became the IT guy of the group. Some would say I'm the shepherd of the group but I prefer to see myself as a glimmer of hope for my biologist teammates when their pc crashes down. But don't think I live in symbiosis with my computer, like most of Grenoblois I like outdoor activities such as trail, skiing or climbing.

Clement Masson

M1 de Biologie Moléculaire et cellulaire
GRENOBLE Université Joseph FOURIER

Hey! I'm a student in microbiology and genetic engeenering. I participate to iGEM because it's an extraordinary opportunity to work on genetic engineering, and to have a real lab' life experience. Otherwise, what can I say, I come from Albertville like Geoffrey, incidentally I think he is right about cheese,bread and wine. I don't no what can I say moreover, so I think I will leave you with an expression from Savoie : "Qui boit trop de gnole casse la bagnole!"

Feriel Melaine

Master 2 recherche Nanobiologie
GRENOBLE Université Joseph FOURIER

Consciente de la formidable opportunité que peut représenter la participation à un projet d’une telle envergure, je ne pouvais me résoudre à laisser passer cette chance. Appréhender ce domaine de pointe qu’est la biologie synthétique, à travers l’expérience iGEM, est un excellent moyen pour élargir mes connaissances et contribuer ainsi à m’ouvrir à un champ de réflexion plus exhaustif, inhérent aux stratégies thérapeutiques médicales , domaine qui me passionne !

Samia Menad

Master 2 recherche Nanobiologie
GRENOBLE Université Joseph FOURIER

Hello everyone, I’m Samia, I am student in second year of Nanosciences research master, specialty nanobiology, I love biology especially when it is associated with other scientific fields like physics. My participation in the iGEM Grenoble -Team is due to my interest in synthetic biology, I am highly motivated and curious about the project and I am glad to have the opportunity to extend my knowledge in this field. I believe the iGEM is a great human adventure for every member team.

Robin Pinilla

M1 Ingénierie pour la santé et le médicament
GRENOBLE Université Joseph FOURIER

Student in first year of master degrees of engineering for health and drugs (mmm drugs...) speciality biotechnologies, I am particularly interested in cell engienering and biological expression systems. In this context, I find that the iGEM, plus that beeing a great learning tool, is a unique opportunity for students to participate in a project of engineering bacteria from the idea to the functional biological system.

To my point of view, the most interesting aspect of the iGEM project is the collective construction of a new way of doing bioengineering. The modular approach is clearly more efficient in terms of experimental effort and it also helps understanding how cellular functions are organized. Implementing new functions in bacteria should in turn help to build up more efficient ways to represent the living beings complexity. Besides that, I like and challenges and iGEM is all of this.

Marianne Weidenhaupt

LMGP
Grenoble INP

I am a biology and immunology teacher at the Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma. One of the important points of my teaching is to train students to be able to work at the interface of different scientific disciplines. iGem is a very exciting challenge that plunges us straight into interdisciplinarity and puts teachers and students face to face with what we aim for in our daily work. Personally I worked in bacterial genetics during my PhD, a field I left some 15 years ago and which I am more than happy to work in again with our team.
