We are proud to say that all the ideas we worked on this year were proposed by undergraduate members of iGEM 2018 team AFCM Egypt. We also want to thank all those advisors and instructors who helped us discuss these ideas and guided us through doing the experiments.
Team Attributions
Mohamed Tarek
He Participated in development of the microRNAs idea and contributed to the final design of the TLR idea with the notion of structural ligands. He also worked on selection of vector plasmids for lab work, designed the needed parts and participated in characterizing parts in the lab along with part submission protocol. Finally, he supervised the computational biology work, the bioinformatics and network modelling and developed the mathematical and machine learning associated modelling.
