INTRODUCTION

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
2012 iGEM Team

We are proud to say that 2012 HKUST iGEM Team is a large scale of staunch undergraduate students. With 21 members on hand, we form a big team of which we refer as family. This year, our team aim to accomplish an ambitious plan, which comprises of different components. We divide our team into three sub-groups to build different constructs for each components; making our plan possible to be completed. The first sub-group, Cell Wall Binding System, is responsible for making the binding of bacteria to the colon cancer cell possible. While Protein Synthesis sub-group operates the secretion of anti-tumor chemokine; Cell Death sub-group develops constructs to ensure Biosafety by putting the bacteria to death. These three sub-groups’ works, when combined, completes the whole system of drug delivery by microorganism of which we have carefully planned. In addition to the wet lab groups, we are grateful to have members who work tirelessly in finishing several essential things, such as Wiki Page , T-shirt , Mascot and Poster.
