The Team
We are the VT-ENSIMAG biosecurity team, linking both Virginia Tech and ENSIMAG and hosted at Virginia Tech(VT) by the synthetic biology group at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI).
VT
Virginia Tech is located at Blacksburg, VA (USA) where 30,000+ students study in one of the nine colleges and grad school. Established in 1872 , as the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College , and now Virginia Tech , it houses over 65 bachelor's degree programs. It's motto , Ut Prosim (That I may serve) is inculcated in each student, and we strove to bring it to our work in the project.Most Bachelor's degrees are ideally 4 years , where students combine core curriculum with various liberal arts courses to bring the concept of a well rounded education to fruition. (http://www.vt.edu/about/)
VBI
The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute is a research institute dedicated to the study of the biological sciences at Virginia Tech. By using bioinformatics, which combines transdisciplinary approaches to information technology and biology, researchers at VBI interpret and apply vast amounts of biological data generated from basic research to some of today¿s key challenges in the biomedical, environmental and agricultural sciences.

ENSIMAG
The ENSIMAG is located in Grenoble, France. It is a top French educational institution in informatics, applied mathematics and telecommunications, pioneer in the field of information processing. Ensimag students stay three years in this engineering school where they finish their BS (students had already prepared for two years the admission exam to the ENSIMAG school in another institution) and get a master degree in CS and applied math (plus specialization).

Synthetic biology group
The Synthetic biology group's research focuses on Computer Assisted Design of synthetic genetic systems, Linguistic models of biological sequences, Stochastic dynamics of the yeast cell cycle and Quantitative imaging.
