ZJU Finalist PresentationFiled in 2011 | iGEM | Liveblog | World Championship Leave a comment | Edit The previous post for ZJU can be found here! WHY ZJU ROCKS OUR RAINBOWS! 1. Although the conventional perception of biofilms is negative they made it colorful based on the natural gradients in biofilms! They went on to create biofilms that can produce sugar or glue in a strategic step by step process as well as biofilms that can serve as multi-functional biosensors in adverse environmental conditions. 2. They have a really diverse human practices project: novels, app games, funding studies… I played that app game! It’s tough :P

Imperial College of London Finalist PresentationFiled in 2011 | iGEM | Liveblog | World Championship Leave a comment | Edit For your reference, previous posts for Imperial College of London’s presentation can be found HERE, HeRe, and hErE. This entry will be purely focused on WHY THEY ARE AWESOME (top 2 reasons).
1. They are delivering a synthetic biology solution to the crucial problem of desertification. Briefly, make E. coli that (i) move toward roots, (ii) enhance lateral root formation when absorbed and (iii) possess a mechanism against horizontal gene transfer. 2. They interviewed a panel of experts to extensively inform their project and produce a compelling proof-of-concept.
