Collaborations

We are very happy to have other iGEM teams around ours. As early as June 3rd, we have met SDU team (Denmark) in Lithuania. We gained advices on organizational activities, lab work and wiki webpage. Moreover, we shared the usable information on topics, such CRISPR/Cas systems, microfluidics and modular proteins (interactions between them and nucleic acids). We organized a tour around Thermofisher Scientific Lithuania. This great partnership did not end after their trip. As one biobrick (BBa_I0462) was damaged in our kit, SDU team helped us by sending their sample of this biobrick. Thank you SDU team!

After we were given a hand by SDU team, we had an opportunity to help a great team of Toulouse iGEM. At the end of a summer, they told us that they need a specific construct (BBa_K195613). We sent this biobrick to France and hope that Toulouse team did a great job using it.

As the Beatles notice, with a little help from my friends, we filled in a lot of questionnaires and shared data from our ones. These questionnaires asked about GMOs, the attitude and acceptance of genetic modifications’ technologies. We are happy to share this info with iGEM Tec-Monterrey, Vanderbilt iGEM and Oxford iGEM teams. Moreover, after long analyses of our date and our own questionnaires from Lithuania society, we shared the data and insights among various GMO councils and the Ministry of Environment of the Lithuania.
