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:BioToga_NY/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

Team BioToga_NY

Team BioToga is excited to be part iGEM! This is our first year entering the competition, so we expect to learn a TON!

We are made up of Juniors and Seniors at Saratoga Springs High School, in Saratog Springs, NY. Team members are students in either in AP Biology, Biotechnology, or both classes.

BioToga is led by two mentors: Kurt Borchardt, a Biotechnology and Digital Electronis teacher at Saratoga Springs High School. We also have the invaluable help of Dr. Kelly Sheppard, Assistant Chemistry Professor at Skidmore College.

Project - Biobrick Multimeter

Team BioToga is going to design a biobrick "Multimeter." Our multimeter will combine various biobricks into one design. We want to develop a biobrick that can test for the presence of water contaminants such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic. Each contaminant will express a different fluorescent protein, such as BFP, GFP, RFP, and OFP. Our goal is to develop a multimeter that can test for 3 contaminants, with a stretch goal to test 4 contaminants.
