Classes

Everybody must know how to do iGEM


Our team is made ​​up of students from different areas of knowlegde, from design to engineering. We consider the only thing you need in order to be part of us is motivation. This is why we made a series of classes given by professors and advanced senior students where everyone can learn about everything that the project is going to be about. So our classes started as basic as cellular biology, passing through matlab, differential equations, genetic circuits and lab basics, such as restriction enzymes and PCR. Here you can check our presentations, and there is to stand out that all this training was made by students from iGEM 2012, so they can pass all they experience to the new members of the group. We made PopQuizzeess and All! :)




Quorum Sensing


With this class we learnt the basic topics in bacterial quorum sensing and how they talk to each other. For instance the concepts about AHL, Lux-like genes and the effect of population density were examined. In addition we saw some applications of bacterial quorum sensing in genetic constructs, illustrating this with well known examples of bacterial signaling in synthetic biology.

Daniel is an undergraduate Chemistry and Chemical Engineering double major senior at Universidad de los Andes. Although he decided to study Chemistry, he has always had an interest in Biology and is always eager to learn about other fields. He is very interested in exploring the molecular mechanisms behind pathogenic agents like bacteria and viruses. Although he knows a lot about systems biology, molecular biology is his true passion, which is why he decided to go back to the lab this year. In his free time he enjoys reading books, going to the gym, playing volleyball and is a huge fan of MOOC open courses.
