Modelling Homepage


Our team believes that the key to synthetic biology is using engineering design and engineering modelling to significantly improve the development of biochemical systems. Therefore, the engineers in our team have worked with the biochemists every step of the way throughout our project to design the initial project ideas, to analyse in detail the expected response of the system and to analyse the results of the various types of experiments that we have run.

This means that, unlike iGEM teams in the past, our modelling is presented interspersed with our biochemistry information to hopefully give a feel of the real interactions that have taken place between the specialities in our team. To aid the viewer, all modelling sections have pink header bubbles, all of the biochemistry sections have light blue header bubbles.

We have also worked very closely with the human practices team and influential figures in industry to look at exactly how this project could be implemented in the real world. Included in this has been the 3D CAD of the expected product and the 3D printing and circuit building of the biosensor unit.

Characterising a genetic network
We used stochastic and deterministic genetic circuit modelling helped the wet-lab team develop the ability to characterise a previously unknown genetic circuit. Find out more here...
Optimising a genetic network
We used these genetic circuit models to predict the fluoresence response of the system
Intellectual Property….
Determining the ownership of the intellectual property of a project is crucial for any team hoping to develop their ideas beyond the Jamboree. Our report looks at how the iGEM community can navigate this controversial and difficult issue.

The iGEM Competition….
iGEM has been steadily expanding since its beginnings in 2004, climbing from 5 to over 200 teams in the last 10 years. As the first ever Oxford team, we are more than a little late to the party! Our team has researched the growing contribution made by the rest of Europe to the competition, of which we hope to become a part from 2014 onwards!
