Patterns are fascinating, from the veins of a leaf to the stripes of a zebra. Patterns are found everywhere in nature, but how they are formed is not entirely understood. We, the KU Leuven 2015 iGEM team, decided to work on the fundamental mechanisms behind pattern formation. The way the cells of multicellular organisms interact to generate a specific pattern has triggered our curiosity. Our mission is to create astonishing biological patterns with engineered bacteria on a petri dish to unravel the secrets of nature. We will design a ‘proof of principle’ which can form the basis for fundamental research.

Wiki Game

Browsing through iGEM team wiki’s can be a time consuming job. To make this easier and fun we invented a wiki game to help you discover the nook and corner of our wiki. It allows you to get a simple overview of our wiki. Play our wiki game!

Research

Swift and smart in actions to design the plasmids, quantify the parameters and to create the patterns. Join us in our exciting journey.

Interlab

Many small steps need to be taken to achieve our goal. We like to keep you informed and welcome you to discover our newsfeed and history.

Modeling

The modeling team will fit models to the data obtained by the wet lab. Continuous and hybrid models will be used. Hybrid models are models which have a discrete and continuous part.

Outreach

Teaching students, iGEM teams and the Belgian public more about synthetic biology and our project.

Project

We decided to work on the fundamental mechanisms behind pattern formation. Our preliminary idea is to design two bacterial strains that can interact with each other.

Team

Diverse with respect to thoughts, perspectives, nationalities and languages, yet bound together by our enthusiasm for science and research. Would you like to know more about us?

Notebook

Many small steps need to be taken to achieve our goal. We like to keep you informed and welcome you to discover our newsfeed and history.

Research

Each experimental step requires a theoretical background. This background, the protocols and the results of our experiments can be found in this subsection.

Interlab

We decided to work on the fundamental mechanisms behind pattern formation. To achieve our goal, the link between wet lab and modeling will be crucial to the successful design of our experiments.

Modeling

The modeling team fits models to the data obtained by the wet lab. Synergically, simulations from the cyber lab will aid tuning the experimental conditions that lead to the desirable patterns.
