====Bacteria for personalized Medicine====
Some iGEM-Teams from 2008 and 2009 worked on using bacteria for personalized medicine. The idea to put them into the human gut and let them react to either internal or external stimuli has led to some interesting wet-lab projects.
Probably most famous in the iGEM-context is the work from Taipei 2008 (have also a look on wiki design an figures): [http://2008.igem.org/Team:NYMU-Taipei]
Caltech 2008 took a similar approach: [http://2008.igem.org/Team:Caltech]
Also interesting: the bacto-joghurt idea by MIT 2008: [http://2008.igem.org/Team:MIT]
You sould also have a brief look on those projects here, especially on the kind of idea they focus on. All of them are really special in their way:
Edinburgh 2009 on the detection of land mines: [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Edinburgh]
Calgary 2009 and their human practices project on a Second Life Synhetic Biology world: [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Calgary#]
Tokyo Tech 2009 on terraforming Mars (very cool idea): [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Tokyo_Tech]
Tokyo Tech 2008 on an E. coli based touch display: [http://2008.igem.org/Team:Tokyo_Tech]
Furthermore, you should have a look at some team presentations. Besides the finalists presentations from 2008 and 2009 that are interesting anyways, the following ones have been really cool and fun:
Tokyo Tech 2009, Calgary 2009
Have fun! I'm looking forward to see you soon in Heidelberg! More information is about to come in this blog, soon.
