This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.

You MUST have the following information on your wiki:

a team description
project description
safety information (did your team take a safety training course? were you supervised in the lab?)
team attribution (who did what part of your project?)

You may also wish to add other page such as:

lab notebook
sponsor information
other information

REMEMBER, keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.
Example: 2012hs.igem.org/Team:Sharon_BasicallyAcid/Our_Pets

You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

Official Team Profile

This semester, we are working on engineering a bacteria with a pH indicator that will activate a gene in the presence of gastric acid (pH of 1.5 to 3.5). The gene will then allow the bacteria to excrete a base or stomach mucus to help neutralize the gastric acid in the esophagus, which is the leading cause of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

Notebook

Show us how you spent your days.

Results/Conclusions

What did you achieve over the course of your semester?

Safety

What safety precautions did your team take? Did you take a safety training course? Were you supervised at all times in the lab?

Attributions

Scott and Luke and Rohit= Wiki Page

Prashant and Max = Searching for Sponsor

Leanne and Vitusha = Research

Human Practices

What impact does/will your project have on the public?

Similar to TUMS tablets, our bacteria helps relieve the pain cause by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Our bacteria is a solution so it can be easier to ingest. The Bacteria can also be taken before or after a meal, depending on the person.

Fun!

What was your favorite team snack?? Have a picture of your team mascot?
