by Ellis O'Neill
The Triple Helix, Cambridge 800th Anniversary Edition 2009

A report on participation in the Cambridge 2008 iGEM team. Ellis describes what it was like to participate in this exciting and challenging project in Cambridge. 

Cambridge's team consisted of undergraduates from diverse academic backgrounds. The aim of their project was to produce self-organising bacterial populations that would produce voltage fluxes - similar to action potentials that carry information in the brain.
