Our Team

The UW iGEM team is a very interdisciplinary group. Our team members span three faculties: Science, Mathematics, and Engineering, and represent a wide range of undergraduate programs: Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Mathematical Physics.

Drawing on our diverse backgrounds, we bring a wide range of skills and modes of creative thinking to our iGEM project. The iGEM competition is providing us with an opportunity to become more familiar with the emerging field of synthetic biology in an engaging and fun atmosphere. In addition to gaining experience in the design, construction, and analysis of genetic circuits, we are also meeting the challenge of bringing together a large, diverse group toward a common goal.

Our Project
Abstract
- goals - biological implementation of a fundamental engineering concept, the half-adder - half adder calculates the sum of two 1-bit inputs project - bacterial sensor which responds to two inputs: red light and the chemical tetracycline - input sensors control genetic switches in order to carry out logic functions - output of the half-adder function...green or red fluorescence
Project	Modelling	Construction and Testing	Extensions
Binary addition and boolean logic Half-adder vs. full-adder designs Biological half-adder implementation	//Modelling	Strategy for half-adder construction Testing plan and testing constructs	Plan for full-adder Gene design for full adder
