It has always been the objective of iGEM Paris Bettencourt to conduct novel projects. This year, our team has decided to explore a topic that has rarely been approached by synthetic biologists in this competition: odor.

Human olfaction relies on a tremendous number of cellular receptors that can detect specific molecules in the air. Upon the detection of combination of these compounds, a message is sent to the brain, which leads to the perception of one unique odor. There is considerable work left to do in order to understand the sense of smell, especially in determining how olfactory receptors operate. Few synthetic biologists have tried to engineer bacteria to produce smell or to treat bad smell since the production of odor by microorganisms is not studied often. One reason for the lack of study in this area is that it is hard to quantify and characterize an odor. We will overcome this by using odor professionals and commonly used scientific tools. We want to do this in order to investigate the links between our skin microbiota and body odor, as well as the perception of one's body odor by others.








News

Newsletter n°4
from Sept 1st to Sept 15th 2014

Hi, all the iGEMers.

Last time when I wrote on this page of the newsletter, it was our first issue. Now, the summer is coming to the end and this is our fourth issue of the newsletter, also our last regular issue. Afterwards, we will replace it by special issues and review sessions, as i mentioned before. A couple schools have asked me about the timeline. I understand that school is starting and life is getting crazy. The student review of the judge question would be done by October and the peer review session would be in the first or second week of October. I will send out one more email with details and the rubrics in the coming three days.

Newsletter n°3
from August 25th to September 7th

Hi, all the iGEMers.
Here is the third newsletter, we are publishing in collaboration with the iGEM team from Xiamen University in China.

Newsletter n°3
from August 25th to September 7th

Here is the third newsletter, we are publishing in collaboration with the iGEM team from Xiamen University in China.

Newsletter n°2
from August 11th to August 24th

Here is the second newsletter, we are publishing in collaboration with the iGEM team from Xiamen University in China.

First MOOC video

12/08/2014


Newsletter n°1
from July 28th to August 10th 2014

We co-founded a biweekly newsletter with the iGEM team from Xiamen University in China. Currently, there are 8 teams, from 7 different countries involved. The newsletter has two major parts: project update and team member introduction. We hope through this activity the teams will be able to keep better record of their own projects, be able to get feedback from their peers and get to know other young synthetic biologists. There will also be special issue on interviews with iGEM alumni, as well as past advisors, from college teams in Germany and Brazil.
