Baltimore-US, is made up from members of the BioMore GenoBlasts (http://www.genoblasts.com), Maryland's - Synthetic Biology SIG and faculty and students from area universities including Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) and Towson University (TU). We have assembled a team of professional and amateur scientists/engineers/artists to put forth a team for this years iGEM 2010 competition. With a discussion amongst the other DIY-Bio enthusiasts, we worked with the Community College of Baltimore County and Professor Tom Burkett to create a venue where folks could step into this competition and learn with hands on experience the tools, techniques, and resources necessary to explore this emerging field, under the observance of trained professionals. Faculty Instructors and Advisors are Tom Burkett, Assistant Professor of Biology & Biotechnology at CCBC, Lisa Scheifele, Assistant Professor of Biology at Loyola College, and Elizabeth Goode, Asssociate Professor of Mathematics at Towson University.
We are the first DIY-Bio community ( http://diybio.org/ ) to have successfully entered the iGEM competition. Our members range in age and we're made up of graduates, students, professors of HCC, CCBC, Georgetown, Towson and Loyola University. We've got electrical engineers, roboticists, materials scientists, geneticists, health-care professionals, mathematicians & theortical computer scientists, and computer programmers. But we're beginners and we've come together to try and see what we might be able to accomplish with these new technologies. | |
Regardless of what we create, we hope to document the experiences and frustrations in hopes of making the field more accessible to other DIY-Bio enthusiasts and students, creating additional media and educational tools along the way. | |
