We are a multi-cultural Franco-Brazilian team composed by students and advisors from UNICAMP (State University of Campinas, Brazil) and EMSE (École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Étienne, France). To join iGEM 2011 our team proposes the combination of French and Brazilian students to build two biological devices that will modulate our immune system. This perspective is a strategy with potential application in biomedical therapies, for example, the optimization of the response to various vaccines, as well as the treatment of diseases such as cancer, gut bacterial illnesses and diseases related to excess of Th1 or Th2 lymphocytes lineages. Since stressful situations and various diseases directly affect the balance of our immune system by increasing levels of Catecolamines (CAs), we choose the stress as a model to our current project. We aim to create a Jedi Bacteria that will contain a system that can sense CA levels and produce citokines to regulate the immune system, leading to homeostasis and immune balance. |
