<p class=definition><b>Body odor is caused by the metabolic action of bacteria on human sweat. Existing deodorants are antibiotic - they kill all skin bacteria including neutral and beneficial species. Where body odor carries a social stigma, alternatives to deodorant are few. </b></p>
 +
<p class=definition>The <b>iGEM Paris Bettencourt 2014 </b>project explores new ways to control body odors through precise modifications of the living microbiome. We target common odors of the armpit and foot, as well as odors specific to old age or genetic disease. We present a BioBrick smell library for mixing genetic perfumes and a CRISPR-mediated technology for isolating naturally odorless bacterial strains.</p>
 +
<p class=definition> Our work represents a probiotic and body-positive approach to body odor that will someday help people to smell <i>just like themselves</i>.</p>

-
<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>

Latest revision as of 18:43, 5 December 2014


Body odor is caused by the metabolic action of bacteria on human sweat. Existing deodorants are antibiotic - they kill all skin bacteria including neutral and beneficial species. Where body odor carries a social stigma, alternatives to deodorant are few.

The iGEM Paris Bettencourt 2014 project explores new ways to control body odors through precise modifications of the living microbiome. We target common odors of the armpit and foot, as well as odors specific to old age or genetic disease. We present a BioBrick smell library for mixing genetic perfumes and a CRISPR-mediated technology for isolating naturally odorless bacterial strains.

Our work represents a probiotic and body-positive approach to body odor that will someday help people to smell just like themselves.
