Virginia Genetically Engineered Machine (VGEM) Team Lab Wiki
Welcome to the new VGEM Team wiki! The VGEM Team was founded by George McArthur IV so that the University of Virginia's could send an undergraduate bioengineering team to compete in MIT's international Genetically Engineered Machines competition [(iGEM)]. We'll be adding new information regularly, so be sure to check up on us soon.

Project
Our project will be mind-blowing and reality-bending. We'll be working with E. coli and hope to tackle a medical or environmental engineering problem or both! Our group is interested in the metabolic engineering of bacteria for the production of sophisticated biomaterials, fine chemicals such as biopharmaceuticals, and renewable energy alternatives such as ethanol and hydrogen using engineering principles that are being developed by the emerging discipline called Synthetic Biology.
