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
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.
