Overall project

Traditional Engineering fields as Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Agricultural, etc. have been working for last two centuries separately of Biological develops (life sciences). The UTP-Panama Team is decided to broke this paradigm in the Republic of Panama. To accomplish this goal the UTP-Panama Team is working to develop what we calle "'SynBio Engineering Tool Kit", the manufacturing of engineering tools obtained from biological resources. At this moment, Engineering groups are designing projects in different fields, using the biological devices to improve and solve traditional engineering problems. In this sense, the proposed works are:

Agricultural & Environmental Engineering

• Nitrogen Area: introduce chemotaxis to BioBrick BBa_K381001 develop by the Bristol 2010 iGEM Team, to make a dynamics Nitrate-nitrite sensor. The main goal of this area (future) is to express LegHemoglobine and other nitrogen fixation molecules in E.Coli.

• Phosphates sensing: BBa_K116401 & BBa_K116404.

• pH sensing: Taiwan Back to Kidney pH sensors BBa_K116001 & BBa_K116002

Mechanical & Material Sciences Engineering

• Biopolimer Area: continue the Virgina (2008), Utah State (2009) and Insa-Lyon 2010 develop in the field of Bioplastic-Biopolymers through expression genes for PHA, PHA, and PHC. • Heat Production: uses and improvement of Gatech Biobrick BBa_K410000, on mechanical engineering.

Electrical Engineering

• Biosensing o Light Sensitive proteins: work with BBa_K191003 • Creation of electrical circuits
