	November 10, 2008 The 2008 Brown iGEM Teams presented their research at the International iGEM Jamboree this past weekend at MIT. Brown Team 1 designed a system to detect the presence of toxins in water using E. Coli bacteria. Brown Team 2 developed a threshold/limiter switch, allowing for regulation of protein expression in Yeast. Brown Team 1 won Best Environment Project & a Bronze Medal for their toxin detection system & Team 2 won a Silver Medal for their Genetic Limiter!

iGEM is the International Genetically Engineered Machines Competition that takes place at MIT every year. iGEM's focus is the cutting edge field of synthetic biology. Our aim is to use the Biobrick parts sent to us by the Registry of Standard Biological Parts to construct new molecular machines.

We are a seven member undergraduate team from diverse backgrounds in science and engineering. We are mentored by Brown graduate students, postdocs, and faculty from across the university. With support from a team UTRA, we will be working in the Multidisciplinary Lab over the summer and preparing our entries for the annual jamboree at MIT on November 3rd and 4th 2007.
