<br></br>Posters are a great way to concisely present your team's work. You can bring your poster to the Jamboree, but also to other meetings and conferences as well. Print out a second copy and post it at your home school so that everybody in your department or school can learn about your team. Show us what you've got.

<br></br>At the end of the day, many people learn best by watching and listening. Online video also provides a wonderful legacy to help others, from students, to teachers, to the general publics. Giving a great presentation is a challenge, and benefits greatly from practice and study.

Best Health or Medicine Project

Many health and medical problems might best be addressed by improved biological technologies. What can synthetic biology do?

    Quick Links

    See our characterized Biobrick Parts

    See our new Phage Standard

    See our Human Practices Art Gallery

    See the Waterloo Team

    Consideration for Special Awards

    Besides striving for a Gold Medal and a place as one of the finalists, our team would also like to be considered for the following special awards:

    "What a society deems important is enshrined in its art." -Harry Broudy

    Our human practices project presents the first iGEM art gallery dedicated to synthetic biology and all its diverse aspects. Sometimes art answers our deepest questions. Sometimes art only deepens the mystery. And sometimes a picture is just worth a thousand words. This is our way of helping human civilization consider, guide and address the impacts of ongoing advances in synthetic biology. Not limited to conventional artwork, our gallery also features synthetic biology promoter maps and poems.

    "One of the most insidious and nefarious properties of scientific models is their tendency to take over, and sometimes supplant, reality." -Erwin Chargaff

    Right before your eyes, watch how the population dynamics of a biofilm is affected by the introduction of bacteriophage and a biofilm matrix-degrading enzyme. Using our model, we are able to run simulations that predict outcomes of the system and construct informed hypotheses to test in reality.

    "Acceptance of prevailing standards often means we have no standards of our own." -Jean Toomer

    There are standards for prokaryotes and standards for eukaryotes. But what about standards for the living dead? Our new Phage standard lays down a foundation for future work involving viruses and integrating Biobrick parts into their genome. Prepare to be infected!!!

    We've worked really hard on our wiki to make it accessible, fun and interactive! So we hope that future iGEM teams, students worldwide, and even the general public will visit us here and see what iGEM and synthetic biology is about!

    Come and see our poster and team presentation! It will be a great opportunity to meet our team and learn more about our project. A soft copy of our poster and video of our presentation will be linked here during the Jamboree.
