Our aims

In order to improve globally equality, both monetary and medically, the accessibility of new technologies is imperative. Our project designed a intercellular communication and control system that could be used to stabilise the composition of dynamic population of bacteria. This would simplify the use of complicated biological systems such as microbial consortia.

The Team

Anna Biologist	Carrie Biologist	Cesar Informatician	Charlotte Biologist
Chiara Biomedical Scientist	Elize Engineer .	Philip Biologist .	Rikki Informatician .
Sam Biologist		Yuma Biologist

Our Project

We focused on the definition of microbial consortia, namely, systems. This was done through three sub-projects; Metabolic wiring and the three wires we investigated, degron characterization to improve the responsiveness of systems, and population control to experiment with actual control mechanisms. Policy and Practices informed the considerations of our model system’s design and it in turn influenced the exploration of these same themes in iGEM teams.


Modelling Why do an experiment when a computer can work out the result? Click here to learn about the models we used, the programs we created, and our collaboration with UCL.	Human Practices What can our smart bacterial friends tell us about the way human teams work? Are iGEM teams any smarter than a population of smart bacteria?	Art and Outreach Learn about some novel ways in which we tried to get the message out about our project.

+   <p>Better control of bacterial populations should allow more complex biological systems to be created. RewirED has worked to bring the first components of that future closer through iGEM, in order to allow greater access and sharing of scientific knowledge, and greater communication and responsiveness from bacteria.</p>

-<p>This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started: </p>
-<ul>
-<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start. </li>
-<li>Be clear about what you are doing and what you plan to do.</li>
-<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
-<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
-<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>
-<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="">iGEM 2013 calendar</a> </li>
-<li>Have lots of fun! </li>
