<h4> Uploading pictures and files </h4>
 
<p> You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2015 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name. <br />
 
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to <code>Team:YourOfficialTeamName/NameOfFile.jpg</code>. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)</p>

IGEM-CU page!

Welcome to IGEM-CU page

Our project:

Can you imagine a device containing a bacterium, to detect glucose throughout the day and in response to it expulse insulin? Imagine the possibilities this could have if implemented, by means of a device such as treatment in type 1 diabetes and some cases of type 2 diabetes?

IGEM-CU is doing everything possible so that the answers to these questions come true!

Why?

Because:

  • In 2014 the global prevalence of diabetes * was estimated to be 9% among adults aged 18+ years.
  • In 2012, an estimated 1.5 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes
  • More than 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries
  • And we want to make it better

How?

Because:

  • By bringing together a group of students of medicine, biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and biomedicine.
  • Taking advantage of individual skills and abilities make them within a team
  • Using tools of molecular biology
  • Creating an organism that can measure glucose in the medium, in response to it, synthesize insulin and subsequently to eject means.
  • Designing a device that is functional, economical and safety for all users
  • Creating a mathematical model which explains each variable involved in the experiment
  • And finally, designate a doctor to monitor them all and ensure that the experiment is safe and functional!
