This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have the following information on your wiki:
  • a team description
  • project description
  • safety information (did your team take a safety training course? were you supervised in the lab?)
  • team attribution (who did what part of your project?)
You may also wish to add other page such as:
  • lab notebook
  • sponsor information
  • other information
REMEMBER, keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.
Example: 2013hs.igem.org/Team:Acton-BoxboroughRHS/Our_Pets



You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

Official Team Profile

Contents

Team

Our team of sixteen students is from the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School, includes Akash Kapoor, Chris Kuffner, Mayank Mali, Benjamin Pervier, Madhuri Jois, Wynne Yao, Charles Taussig, Tara Jawahar, Rachel Tao, Katherine Liu, Barry Huang, Ben Stern, Justin Hong, William Huang, Victoria Chen, and Anusha Purakayastha, and is coached by Aaron Mathieu.

The team profile can be found here.

Project

Our team has finalized our large amalgamation of thoughts to a few possible projets:

Fat/sugar/protein converter
Genetically produced fuel/BioDeisel
Kopi Luwak Coffee
3-5 certain enzymes get rid of bitter proteins and carbohydrates, making coffee more sweet.
Electronic nodes can be used to detect changes in certain composition of beans.
Bacteria that absorbs CO2/fossil fuel by product/catalytic converter
Skin regenerating Bacteria
Bacteria with memory/synthetic neurons
Synthetic/modified mitochondria or chloroplast

Notebook

First Few Weeks

In the first few weeks, we had introduced iGEM to students, taken sneek-peeks on projects done by past iGEM teams, and done small exercises. One example of a demonstration was modelling the process of producing a plasmid of recombinant DNA with restriction enzymes and ligase using pipe cleaners, candies, labels and scissors.

Up to February 26 2014

Our team has done some moderate research on final topics. The final project will be picked soon.

These are a list of the possible candidates:

Fat/sugar/protein converter
Genetically produced fuel/BioDeisel
Kopi Luwak Coffee
Bacteria that absorbs CO2/fossil fuel by product/catalytic converter
Skin regenerating Bacteria
Bacteria with memory/synthetic neurons
Synthetic/modified mitochondria or chloroplast
