Welcome to our wiki!

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 advance the knowledge in cell-to-cell communication. We are working on two projects, called "Synchronized Oscillatory System" and "Fungal Track 'n Trace". The aim of the Synchronized Oscillatory System project is synchronized oscillatory protein expression in a population of E. coli cells, using their natural quorum sensing system. The Fungal Track 'n Trace project is about visualizing cell-to-cell communication in Aspergillus nidulans.
