All memebers of our team are students at Universidad de los Andes, they are involved in different areas of knowledge such as Science (Chemistry, Physics and Microbiology), Engineering and Medicine. We have a big diversity in education level as well, between us you can find first year students, senior setudens and even a graduate student. Each of us made important contributions in every part of our project (Laboratory, Mathematical models and Human practice). You can find a complete profiles of each of us on the Member's page, where you also can find the profile of our advisors Juan Manuel Pedraza and Silvia Restrepo, whose advice was invaluable for us.

All our work was carried out on Biophysics Lab at Universidad de los Andes, a research lab BSL 2 which is directed (among others) by our advisor Juan Manuel Pedraza. We also used bacterial strains, reagents and equipment for Mycology and Plant Disease Laboratory at Universidad de los Andes (LAMFU), directed by our other advisor Silvia Restrepo. Often we received invaluable help and advice for other research laboratories, such as some reagents from Laboratory of Organic Synthesis, Bio and Organocatalysis (Chemistry Department, Universidad de los Andes) or assistance in the using of fluorescence microscope by Optics Research Lab. You can find all about safety on the Safety page.

This year we work with several teams! There is strength in numbers!

Our principal source of collaborations was Low Budget Lab iGEM Challenge.

In addition we collaborate with Paris Bettencourt team sending sweat samples. And with Dallas Team, talking of a possible common point in our projects, becaus of both are focused on V. cholerae and it would be possible join them to create a super anti-cholerae tool: With our detection system and theri attack system (based on phages).

We want to thank:

Dr. Suárez and María Consuelo Vanegas, MSc. for their time and opinions in the You can find all about safety on the Interviews.

Nathaly, Jorge, Isa, Lina, Alejandro and all people in Biophysics lab. You made our Possible. possible.

Lina, Indira y Alejandro for your invaluable collaboration in our Bake Sale.

Our advisors, off course!

Our sponsors!! :)

Dr. Diego Gamba, for your collaboration in getting arabinose, lactose and DMSO.

Sergio Triana, for helping us to give an electric shock to our cells xD

Any other person who has helped us in any other way.
