Mathematical modeling

As minery and urbanization byproducts concentrate and pollute some of our most precious resources, such as water, some of our peer iGEMers have designed solutions to remediate these hazards. Such is the case of UFAM_Brazil, whose project involves the integration of mercury resistance operon mer into a bacterial chassis. We were glad to involve ourselves with their mathematical modeling development...curious about the outcome? Here we show how it resolved:

Promoter characterization

In order to treat atherosclerosis, the ITESM-CEM has developed the use of microbial enzymes that are able to degrade 7-ketocholesterol.5. We helped them characterize one of their promoters
