Team:Oxford
From 2014.igem.org
Welcome to Oxford University iGEM homepage
Welcome to the homepage of the Oxford University iGEM team. The team consists of 6 biochemists, 3 engineers, a biologist, a chemist, a lawyer. The team will spend eight weeks in the summer designing a waste disposal kit from biological components to detect and degrade DCM, a toxic solvent routinely used in the lab. Even before the project has begun, the team has been promoting Oxford's presence in the competition. It has brought iGEM teams from across the UK and Europe together to encourage the exchange of ideas and is working with the University's Synthetic Biology Society to ensure a legacy beyond the 2014 competition.
