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 and guided by 5 advisors, our team stems from a variety of different scientific fields: Medicine, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science and Physics Students and 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 About Our Project | Sponsors |
| 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 . | Biology | "Human Practices" shapes the future and the very being of all science. Human Practices includes (but is not limited to) the purpose, effects and impact of science on society. A realm where ethics, economics and E.coli all intertwine. Human Practices . |
