Gene Machine: Cells Engineered To Prevent Sepsis Win Synthetic Biology Competition
15th Nov 2006, 11:06 GMT
A team of eight undergraduates from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia won the grand prize earlier this Month at the international Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition at MIT. The group explored a way to use engineered cells to intercept the body's excessive response to infection, which can lead to a fatal condition called sepsis.
