Over the summer months our team have been hard at work doing things that the person writing this wiki has no idea about, running gels, PCR, catogarising stuff, making biobricks, creating fire etc. To find out more check out our <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:St Andrews/project/laboratory"> wet lab section </a>

Integral to iGEM and all scientific endevour are human practices. Human pratices is an expansive term encorporating ethics, group dynamics, sharing and cooperation. Part philosophy and part psychology human practices is all about the people involved in science, from those behind it to those effected by it, how all these parties interact and how they can learn from each other. To find out about the ethical and social issues we considered and how we see the future of synthetic biology and iGEM vist our <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:St Andrews/project/ethics"> human practices page </a>.

Human practices shapes the future and the very being of all science. The purpose, effects and impact of science are set to change mankind's experience in a big way.

Welcome!

Our first year at iGEM!

University of St Andrews 2010 iGEM Team

Welcome to the the University of St Andrews iGEM 2010 Team Website. We are the first University of St Andrews iGEM Team. This page is constantly changing, check back for more soon!

Comprised of 9 undergradutes, guided by 5 advisors, we stem from a variety of different scientific fields. Meet our Team and our advisors! Cholera is a disease that affects 5 million people worldwide each year. It can kill within hours if left untreated. Our project involves investigating the basic science behind a potential means of preventing cholera's devestating consequences Find out more about our project. We are most grateful to all our sponsors, whose generosity has enabled us to carry out our research. For a list of our sponsors, please visit here
To better understand the inner workings of the Cholera quorum sensing system we produced a series of computational models to simulate the operation of Cholera. Based upon differential equations and solved computationally via the runge kutta method our models provide a comprehensive view of Cholera quorum sensing and bi-stable switching behaviour. To find out how we designed our models from the blackboard to the CPU check out our modelling pages . For more details on our Biology Team's work, please see wet lab section Human practices shapes the future and the very being of all science. The purpose, effects and impact of science are set to change mankind's experience in a big way. To find out about the ethical and social issues we considered and how we see the future of synthetic biology and iGEM vist our human practices page .
