Welcome to our Wiki!

Major structural changes to be made in the coming days. :)

Team Wageningen UR at iGEM

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 in E. coli cells, synchronized across a population, using the quorum sensing machinery from Vibrio fischerii. The Fungal Track 'n Trace project aims to implement an artificial intercellular communication system in the hyphal fungus Aspergillus nidulans.
