Collaboration

One of the most important aspects of iGEM is the act of sharing information. It is a wonderful way to meet other people from all over the world, to work together, sharing skills and knowledge, in order to further scientific research. Below, we summarise all of the collaborations we've had with various 2015 iGEM teams.

Warwick iGEM

We mini prepped and PCR’d part BBa_K314110 and sent it to the Warwick iGEM team after they had used up their own supply of the part from the iGEM kit plate. We were not using the part ourselves, so it was an ideal match.

iGEM Bordeaux

We ran toxicity assays for Team Bordeaux to evaluate the effect of their bacterial product (curdlan) on wild bacteria, using our Pseudomonas putida - which we were already using to test our anti-biofilm agents - as a proxy.

Leon's data and report can be found here.

National Chiau Tung University Formosa and National Taiwan University

Team member Lychee went to Taiwan to spend some time helping NCTU_Formosa in the lab by running a colonies PCR and gels, and by assisting with translation/improving the quality of English on their wiki.

He also visited iGEM NTU in their lab and gave them human practices advice based on some of own outreach ideas: school talks etcetera.

ITB Indonesia

We distributed and collected responses for their project questionnaire as part of their human practices.

Trinity College Dublin

They have helped our outreach and media reach a wider audience through the creation of iGEM Academy: a youtube channel intended as a central hub for past, present, and future iGEM teams to share their videos.

The youtube channel has a lot of intresting videos, check it out here.

UCL

They hosted us in London and filmed us interviewing the public on the shared issues surrounding our projects - since both of our teams initially planned to work with free-living engineered bacteria inside people. We had productive discussions of these aspects of our projects and this helped us refine our ideas going forward.
