General Support

Dr. Cynthia Wagner is a Senior Lecturer in Biological Sciences at UMBC. She is also our mentor and aided us during our experiments, brainstorming, and founded the first UMBC iGEM Team.

Dr. Stephen Freeland, the Director of Interdisciplinary Studies became our advisor and helped in the foundation of UMBC’s first iGEM Team. We would also like to acknowledge the iGEM Team from the University of Groningen, Netherlands for their project idea in 2009. Their work on the import of arsenite and arsenate by GlpF inspired us to do so for copper. Julia Wolf, Senior Lecturer in Biological Sciences at UMBC, taught us how to do Hi-Fi Assembly. Financial Support The UMBC Student Government Association provided us with funds for travel cost and reagent cost. Mrs. Felicia Felton, the Assistant Director of Annual Giving at UMBC, helped us jumpstart our crowdfunding website. We would also like to thank the Department of Biological Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Honors College and the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences at UMBC for their support. Lab Support Professor Ralph Murphy, Teaching Lab Technician, provided sterilized flasks of Lysogeny Broth for the inoculation experiments. Copper Measurement Support Dr. Stephen Mang is a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry and Biochemistry at UMBC. With his advice, we learned how to do flame atomic absorption spectroscopy through the use the spectrometer in his lab. Dr. Zeev Rosenzweig is a professor and the Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UMBC. Through his advice, we discovered a method to quantify copper through fluorescence. Dr. Suzanne Ostrand-Rosenberg, a professor in Biological Sciences at UMBC, allowed us to use the plate reader in her lab to measure copper.

Each team must clearly attribute work done by the student team members on this page. The team must distinguish work done by the students from work done by others, including the host labs, advisors, instructors, and individuals not on the team roster.

Can we base our project on a previous one?

Yes! You can have a project based on a previous team, or based on someone else's idea, as long as you state this fact very clearly and give credit for the original project.

Why is this page needed?

The Attribution requirement helps the judges know what you did yourselves and what you had help with. We don't mind if you get help with difficult or complex techniques, but you must report what work your team did and what work was done by others.

For example, you might choose to work with an animal model during your project. Working with animals requires getting a license and applying far in advance to conduct certain experiments in many countries. This is difficult to achieve during the course of a summer, but much easier if you can work with a postdoc or PI who has the right licenses.

What should this page have?
  • General Support
  • Project support and advice
  • Fundraising help and advice
  • Lab support
  • Difficult technique support
  • Project advisor support
  • Wiki support
  • Presentation coaching
  • Human Practices support
  • Thanks and acknowledgements for all other people involved in helping make a successful iGEM team
