Our system encodes sensing information into the amyloid protein curli within bacterial biofilms. Unlike common reporter proteins, curli fibers are highly resistant to degradation and can survive extreme pH and temperature changes extracellularly. Applying chromoproteins engineered to bind specifically to corresponding curli units, information is easily displayed.

Michelle, a sophomore undergraduate, wants to live in a world full of her grandma’s home cooked noodles with a fried egg, painting, funny farm animals and trying to play Mario kart. Hailing from Long Island, New York, Michelle brings her love of art, design, family, good food, and laughs , along with the expertise in synthetic biology that she has developed through prior commitment to scientific research. Known for her wonderful sense of humor, attention to detail and neon color-blocked backpack, she has been a really valuable contributor to this year’s iGEM team.

Team Information

Nicholas

Michelle

On a day in paradise, Nicholas would be found eating a delicious meal, reading a great book, and playing squash. A sophomore from Seattle, Washington has a real passion for computation, especially when applied to biology. In addition, he has become known as the funniest member of the team. One of his greatest quotes, “Cold room or die”, has become a classic Harvard BioDesign joke, succinctly describing the struggle that is the cold room. One of the parts of the project that he is most excited about is the potential for biological cryptography.

Michelle, a sophomore undergraduate, wants to live in a world full of her grandma’s home cooked noodles with a fried egg, painting, funny farm animals and trying to play Mario kart. Hailing from Long Island, New York, Michelle brings her love of art, design, family, good food, and laughs , along with the expertise in synthetic biology that she has developed through prior commitment to scientific research. Known for her wonderful sense of humor, attention to detail and neon color-blocked backpack, she has been a really valuable contributor to this year’s iGEM team.
