Welcome to the 2009 Cellular Relay Race

We are currently working on a cell to cell communication system with possible applications in colon cancer treatment and reducing antibiotic resistance of bacteria.

The Team

This is the second year the TUDelft participates in the iGEM competition. The group consists of 7 students, 4 instructors and a lot of advisors from TUDelft willing to help out and think with us when it is necessary. An overview of the people involved and our competences can be found on the team page. With our 7 participants and 4 instructors, we are enthusiastic to start working on our project: Cell to cell communication with re-engineered plasmids.

The Project - Cellular Relay Race

The goal of our project was to create a bacteria that could transfer genetic information into other bacteria, where after some time the genetic message will destroy itself. Possible applications for this ngfkjn fgoersuidng
