Team:Baltimore US

Special Interest Group. 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 teams, 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. Our members range in age from (??) to (??) years old and is made up of graduates, students, professors of Georgetown, UMCP, UMBC, HCC, CCBC, Towson and Loyola University. We've got electrical engineers, roboticists, materials scientists, geneticists, health-care professionals, mathematicians and computer programmers 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.
