Welcome to the home page of the Michigan Synthetic Biology Team! We are a group of undergraduates that participate in the iGEM competition and are dedicated to promoting synthetic biology at the University of Michigan. GO BLUE!
Project: Patterning Cells
This year’s project explores developing a cell patterning platform based on oligonucleotide-directed cell binding to substrate surfaces. Our approach entails engineering cells to selectively bind to certain nucleotide sequences (via surface display of DNA binding proteins, such as zinc fingers), allowing for guided assembly of defined cell patterns on surfaces patterned with oligonucleotides.
