This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. We cannot give any examples because none have been created yet. So, use your imagination and strive for clarity.

You MUST have a team description page, a description of the problem you are solving/opportunity you are creating as well as your solution, an executive summary and 3 min elevator pitch video, description and links to any source and market data, and an attributions page. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.

You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.	File:UANLe Mexico logo.png 200px
Tell us more about your project. Give us background. Use this as the abstract of your project. Be descriptive but concise (1-2 paragraphs)	File:UANLe Mexico team.png Your team picture
	Team UANLe_Mexico

-= Project description. =
-During the last years, the iGEM competition has represented a force that promotes the development of ideas and projects by undergraduate students, in this way iGEM can be considered as a unique event because it has stimulated thousands of students go from just imagining projects, to actually making them. All of this has generated an extensive amount of synthetic biology projects, each one of them focused on the resolution of specific problems, some of them so remarkable as they are environmental conflicts and others, less socially noticeable like circuits for genetic regulation.
-Nevertheless, there is an interesting situation regarding the time passed since the start of the iGEM competition and thus the fomentation of synthetic biology, and is the lack of wet-lab projects that actually reach the general community through the implementation of tangible solutions. So, it is time to do something about it, it is time to solve the problems all these projects were made to, by creating an industry based on synthetic biology.
-Our project aims this: the establishment of an industry based on what has been developed until now in this field of synthetic biology by taking the lab solutions to the real problems and making them work. Also, this idea has emerged from the application of one of the principles commonly found in this competition and in synthetic biology, the use of standard genetic parts and their utilization on solving different situations.
-Since nowadays we can find a great variety of projects, there is an extensive opportunity area inside synthetic biology, one of those is the use of biosensors. This topic has been of particular interest to our team because it includes a wide quantity of projects. All these projects mean many possible solutions for different problems. However, development of these solutions outside the iGEM competition has not been observed, thus making evident the necessity for the industry presented.
-Inside the opportunity area that can be found in this topic of biosensors, there are highlighted the advantages of using this technologies over the use of classical and actual methodologies. Among them, there is the viability, simplicity and the promotion of the use of green technology.
-In this way, it can be stated that a business plan for the development of a company based on biosensors, could be a good example for the importance and feasibility of making industry based on synthetic biology projects, not leaving them in just possible solutions, but implementing them for the continuos improvement of this society that we live in.
