IIT Madras

Our team comprises of 9 young undergraduates pursuing their bachelors in Biotechnology and is supported by two faculty members from the Dept. of Biotechnology of our institute. Our project is based on the concept of plasmid loss or in other words plasmid instability in bacterial cells. By the end of September we hope to complete the project and get our model working. We also hope to supplement this with some computer simulation work which would demonstrate the variations in the parameters we want to look at with the number of plasmids in question.
