The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is a major competition in Synthetic Biology for undergraduate students. This year will be the eighth time this competition is held and the first time that a team from Wageningen University will participate. Our team aims to use a synthetic biology approach to engineer artificial cell-to-cell communication systems. We are working on two projects: "Synchronized Oscillatory System" and "Fungal Track 'n Trace". The aim of the Synchronized Oscillatory System project is to produce periodic oscillatory protein expression synchronized across a population of E. coli cells, using the quorum sensing machinery from Vibrio fischerii. The Fungal Track 'n Trace project is about visualizing cell-to-cell communication in the hyphal fungus Aspergillus nidulans.
