iGEM IISER Bhopal

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Our project this year is aimed at developing a cold-tolerant chassis for the stable expression of psychrophilic genes in mesophilic hosts.

Did you tune out already? Worry not! Sit back, and let our garrulous smooth talkers spin a fascinating yarn to keep you captivated. After all, iGEM’s all about learning the fun way!

Let’s begin with the basics. Mesophilic organisms are your regular next-door microbes which grow optimally in moderate temperatures (usually defined between a fairly nippy 20°C to and a decidedly uncomfortable 45°C). Their more adventurous cousins are the extremophiles - the legends who not only survive but outright thrive, in the face of some of Earth’s harshest environments. Be it corrosive pH ranges, crushing pressures, near-melting temperatures, tons of radiation, or (of particular interest to us) freezing cold conditions, these wily minions have well and truly proven their hardiness.

Entrepreneurship

Best Supporting Entrepreneurship Special Prize

The Best Supporting Entrepreneurship award recognizes exceptional effort to build a business case and commercialize an iGEM project. This award is open to all teams to show that entrepreneurship is something all teams can aspire to do with their project. This award can go to an new project, or to a previous project that a team aimed to commercialize. Have you filed a provisional patent on your project/device/process? Have you raised money to build and ship products? Have you pitched your idea to investors and received money? As always in iGEM, the aim is to impress the judges!

To compete for the Best Supporting Entrepreneurship prize, please describe your work on this page and also fill out the description on the judging form.

You must also delete the message box on the top of this page to be eligible for this prize.

Inspiration

You can look at what other teams did to get some inspiration!
Here are a few examples:

Patents and intellectual property

If your team is seriously considering commercializing and looking into building a company after the competition, you may want to look at how you are going to protect your work and secure investment. Investors will usually require some form of intellectual protection, so you may want to investigate how to apply for a patent or provisional patent in your country and region before disclosing your project at iGEM. Remember that you can only be evaluated in iGEM based on what you share on your wiki and at the Jamboree, so any work you don't present can't count towards your project.

This is an area where we are different as we care about sharing, openness and contributing to the community and investors don't always agree with these values. It is up to you and your team to decide what to do. Remember that most universities have a commercialization department and that you can talk to them before coming to a decision.
