<p>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.</p>

Before the Poject start

Activities and planning before the start of the project in the summer


Initial brainstorming meetings (February-June)

  • Our initial project ideas:
    1. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    2. Defrosting streets in winter
      To engineer bacteria expressing anti-freeze proteins from an arctic fish in order to provide an alternative for using salt in winter to defrost streets
    3. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    4. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    5. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    6. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    7. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    8. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    9. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    10. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    11. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    12. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    13. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    14. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    15. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    16. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    17. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    18. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis
    19. Bacterial drones
      Engineering bacteria to carry particular substances to specific locations via manipulation of chemotaxis

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.
