- Brain storming of possible ideas for the upcoming summer iGEM competition
- Creating printed circuit boards based upon UT 2004 team.
- The idea surrounds on a concept of control etching of copper using a sensing gene (e.g. light or magnets). Possibly form a death circuit to manipulate which bacteria etch copper and which do not.
- Using A. Ferrooxidans, a iron oxidizing bacteria to accomplish the above goal.
- Using cellulose eating bacteria to explore the possibilities of creating biofuel or food sources from cellulose.
- Genetically modify bacteria to create a detection mechanism (e.g. blood type, TNT)
- Genetically modify bacteria that creates toxic chemicals for mosquitos
- Creating printed circuit boards based upon UT 2004 team.
