iGEM UPO-Sevilla Team is an initiative from students and teachers of Pablo de Olavide University (UPO) in order to help Andalucia and the UPO lead the new discipline called Synthetic Biology. Synthetic Biology creation as a fusion between biology and engineering makes it one of the most promising branches of applied knowledge in our current society.
With Bacterial Crowding project, UPO-Sevilla Team managed to be the first andalusian group, and the third one in Spain, to take part in the iGEM international contest, directed by MIT. The new project idea, Flashbacter, is based in bistables, which allow computer information storage, and it has the aim of creating biological memories.
Apart from participating in the creation of the Genetic Engineering of the future, UPO-Sevilla Team carries out a science divulgation programme all around Andalucia, through a set of high school conferences, scientific fairs events and the creation of a science divulgation blog.
