Personal Information
My name is Claudia, I´m from Mexico, a really very beautiful country. At present, I am an undergraduate student at the Center for Genomic Sciences CCG, my majoring is on Genomics and this year I have been working in the UNAM-Genomics-Mexico team, that will take part at the next 2010 iGEM Competition. Our project aims to creat a light-based communication system between Bacteria.

iGEM:NoteBook
In my team iGEM Project I am working principally in the modeling section and sometimes in wetlab.

My personal logbook, where I update the advances of my tasks can be found in the next link.

However, I have organized my logbook information in the following list of main topics to facilitate and make easier the access to the information for either interested person.
