The 2016 Oslo team
Hello! We are the 2016 iGEM team from the University of Oslo, which lies in Oslo, the heart of Norway. We are a total of 7 students who studies in different fields; informatics, pharmacy, nanotechnology and molecular biology. We have 2 supervisors, Dirk Linke and Eric de Muinck. If you want to get to know us better press the TEAM button.
We are one out of two iGEM teams from Norway, along with NTNU, the team from Trondheim. iGEM is not a well known course in Norway but we certainly made sure that is changing this year. Read more about it under PRACTICES.
Antibiotic resistance
This year we will try to involve us in the fight against antibiotic resistance. The World Health Organizaion (WHO), has listed antibiotic resistance as one of the biggest threat to global health. This threat affects all of us, independent of age and country. The consequences of antibiotic resistance are that smaller operations and treatable infections today, such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections, can become deadly.
The most effective way to keep antibiotic resistance away, is to STOP THE MISUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS. Antibiotics ONLY treat bacteria, so it won't help you if you have a cold. You can read more about antibiotic resistance on WHO's website.
Phonelab
With PhoneLab, UiOslo2016 present a product that could easily be commercialized. By creating our own unique hardware and software, we aim for enormous market of handheld devices. By utilizing the power in a smartphone and our design, PhoneLab could grow to be a mobile, easy-to-use and cheap detection tool usable in many different biological samples. Through the funds provided by our generous sponsors, we have been able to create a chassis of something that could aspire to greatness. We entered an innovation competition arranged by Inven2, the patent company of UiO, and got to the finale in a race for 250 000 NOK in start-up funds to create a company with PhoneLab as its product. We also plan to pitch our finalized project for them and file for a patent. This is just the beginning; through our innovative entrepreneurship, PhoneLab could change the face of modern diagnostics.
Today the only way to know if a bacteria secrete betalactamase is to grow them overnight. Our goal is to detect those bacteria with a fast equipment which doctors can use in their offices and you can get the right antibiotics right away.
