This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have a team description page, a project abstract, a complete project description, a lab notebook, and a safety page. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.


You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

iGEM Yale

welcome to igem yale

What would it take to make bacteria produce an electrical circuit? One of the most exciting uses for synthetic biology is in the design of biological systems that can replace and improve industrial processes. By achieving industrial goals using biological processes, we predict dramatic reductions in economic and environmental manufacturing costs. Our project is a first step towards biologically synthesized electronic circuits. Based on precedence of naturally redox-capable bacteria, we generated a system in E. coli that reduces metal in solution. Depending on the application, this system has the ability to form a conductive copper sulfide that can be localized with high precision. In the future our bacteria could catalyze metal deposition to form electrical circuits of any desired dimension and complexity. >> to learn more about our project:

about us

A first year entrant to the iGEM competition, our team is comprised of students from a wide range of backgrounds connected by a common passion for synthetic biology and its applications. After much brainstorming and many wetlab sessions, our team has succeeded in developing a genomic platform for bacterial circuit construction. >> read more about our team
