Aberdeen iGEM Team 2014
Wake up to the Sleeping Sickness
Hi, there. We are a team of Aberdeen Uni undergrads trying to do our part in the fight against Sleeping Sickness. There's six of us - 5 biologists and 1 physicist. We are very excited to be able to take part in iGEM and we would like to take you on a tour around our project.
We have worked all summer towards what we hope would turn out to be some peace of mind for a lot of people. The goal is to develop a novel method for diagnosing Trypanosomiasis. A simpler, cheaper alternative to current methods that would be more versatile in developing countries and their remote regions. We wish to create a test that would be portable, endure harsh environmental conditions and most importantly be sensitive to the early stages of the disease.
This would give a lot of unsuspecting sufferers the chance to get diagnosed early. This way they can get cured quickly, before the disease reaches its later stages, when it is virtually incurable.
