Projects

We had a formal abstract submitted a few months ago, but to keep this short and sweet this year's Duke GEM team is essentially interested in tackling problems associated with engineering bacterial systems to be easily controllable by clean, macroscopic inputs in order to create useful, macroscopic products. In the course of our brainstorming, we started to become slightly obsessed with the idea

Here are our projects for the summer:

  • Electric field-activated transcription factor
  • Bacterial communication with light
  • Synthesis and property-control of bioplastics
  • Bacterial solar fuel cell

Furthermore, as a team we were not opposed to the recombination of [http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22727&SPID=1845&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=152135&Q_SEASON=2005 Sheldon Williams]' and [http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22763&SPID=1846&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=151935&Q_SEASON=2005 Alison Bales]' DNA to clone a race of super- power forwards, but lacked the 6'-10" cloning chambers we'd need for the project.
