We are the iGEM 2010 Cambridge Team, who are investigating the phenomenon Bioluminescence in Fireflies (Photinus pyralis), Vibrio fisheri, Vibrio harveyi and aiming to transfer one or more systems to biobricks. The aim will be to firstly provide a quantifiable photon output, and secondly to build the foundations of bacterial light sources in the future. In addition, we are looking into quiescence as a method to increase output. Please read our more comprehensive project description for further details. This page will be updated over the course of the summer as we progress through our project. If you would like to get in touch with us for any reason, please do email us.

We have a project description - it summarises our plans for the summer.

The team - in order - Theo Sanderson, Peter Emmrich, Ben Reeve, Anja Hohmann, Emily Knott, Bill Collins, Paul Masset, Hannah Copley, Will Handley
