Degradation of Natural Rubber
Team Brasil-USP
On July 18th, we've hosted Jamboré, a brazilian meeting especially organized for Latin American teams to discuss Synthetic Biology and topics relevant to their projects. We could hear directly from iGEM UFSCar and Equipe iGEM-UFMG about their latest progress and discuss with them issues we've had in common. We also had an extra-special keynote talk by Anita Sifuentes, from iGEM headquarters! We were very happy that we could create a welcoming environment to share ideas, issues and our experiences so far in this year's competition.
Meeting program
RubberBye - Brasil-USP Project Presentation
In this talk, we presented our ideas on how to use a synthetic system to degrade natural rubber, while still ending up with product of high commercial value: fuel. We also shared some of our plans to turn it into a startup soon enough!
iGEM UFSCar - UFSCar Team Project Presentation
UFSCar Team then shared us their solution to help avoiding diseases transmitted by insect vectors, such as malaria and dengue: engineering bacteria carrying out the production of D-limonene to serve as a repellent with low-toxicity.
LeishMANIA - UFMG_Brazil Project Presentation
UFMG_Brazil team proposed in their talk the use of an optimized visceral Leishmania strain to direct drugs to specific macrophages associated to Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that culminates in a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the joint lining.
iGEM - Ana Sifuentes' talk
...
ModeliGEM - Modeling of Biological Systems
During this talk, our team presented an introduction to modeling, starting from a general problem, and bringing into discussion the scientific method and the role of quantitative measurements in general science.
