Welcome to HKUST Team Wiki Page!
We are the 2010 iGEM team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) . This is the third year for HKUST to participate in this international synthetic biology competition. Thanks to our experienced instructors, considerate advisors and every team member from our HKUST iGEM 2010 family, we enjoyed a fantastic summer working cooperatively and effectively towards our goal.
On this Wiki page, we are presenting how we can contribute to the health and medical studies by introducing the idea of an interspecies quorum-quenching system in which non-pathogenic bacterial species could sense and reduce the virulence of another bacterial species. Application of quorum-sensing inhibitors should not yield a strong selective pressure for development of resistance, and would therefore be an attractive concept for preventive medicine.Click here to look into detail of our project
The logo below shows our idea: having one non-pathogenic bacterial species 'working' against another virulent species. Let's enjoy our Wiki page and see how health and medical problems might be better addressed by synthetic biology!
