Experience has most likely reinforced the idea that balance is key to health, happiness, and well-being. There are lessons to be learned depending on how we apply an understanding of balance to the nature of the process in question. Regarding the human body, scientists have made significant progress in understanding the balance of interactions in biochemical and physiological systems ever since Robert Hooke discovered the first cell in 1665. The vast complexity of interactions in the body between the cells and tissues have made studying how these systems work difficult, yet rewarding. When these interactions fall out of balance, the outcome can be deleterious for the healthy progress of other bodily functions. In some cases, an excess or lack of certain biomolecules can result in medical conditions. One such case is evident and problematic in patients that suffer from chronic wounds. This year, our team seeks a treatment to help restore balance to chronic wounds in hopes of reducing the healing time for patients.

About Us

The Lubbock_TTU Team is part of a student organization at Texas Tech University known as iGEM Raiders. Our mission is to expose the university and community to synthetic biology through undergraduate initiative and involvement in the International Genetically Engineering Machine (iGEM) Competition.

This year, the iGEM Raiders team is composed of 14 dedicated undergraduate and graduate students with backgrounds in microbiology, animal science, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, mathematics, physics, and chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering. The diversity within our team enables the iGEM Raiders to tackle novel project ideas.
