Project Description

Content

The goal of our project is to explore the fabrication of microfluidic devices that can be used as genetic sensors. Our research focuses on the design, fabrication, and testing of microfluidic devices which are suitable for synthetic biology studies. Currently, we are developing an E.coli watch that is able to detect the passage of time based on the fluorescence produced by quorum sensing E.coli. We have developed a novel microfluidic device to test evaluate quorum sensing in E.coli and hope to manipulate other genetic switches in the future for increased sensing capabilities.


References

iGEM teams are encouraged to record references you use during the course of your research. They should be posted somewhere on your wiki so that judges and other visitors can see how you though about your project and what works inspired you.

You can use these subtopics to further explain your project

  1. Overall project summary
  2. Project Details
  3. Materials and Methods
  4. The Experiments
  5. Results
  6. Data analysis
  7. Conclusions

It's important for teams to describe all the creativity that goes into an iGEM project, along with all the great ideas your team will come up with over the course of your work.

It's also important to clearly describe your achievements so that judges will know what you tried to do and where you succeeded. Please write your project page such that what you achieved is easy to distinguish from what you attempted.
