Team:GeorgiaTech/Attributions

Attributions

The Georgia Tech iGEM Team is composed of 6 undergraduate students, 3 graduate mentors, and 2 faculty advisors. We represent a diverse selection of Georgia Tech's students, with varying degrees of lab experience, different academic backgrounds, skill sets, interests, and passions. Success in the iGEM competition involves a wide range of talents that our team members were able bring to the table, and each student deserves to be recognized for their contributions.

Additionally, the Georgia Tech iGEM Team is grateful for the following groups who supported our summer endeavors and made our project possible. We could not have done any of this without you, so thank you!

For their generous funding and their continued support of the undergraduate research programs at Georgia Tech

  • Georgia Tech School of Biomedical Engineering
  • Georgia Tech School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
  • Georgia Tech School of Chemistry and Biochemistry
  • Georgia Tech School of Biology
  • Georgia Tech Center for Academic Achievement, PURA Fund
  • Georgia Tech Student Government Association

For their scientific mentorship, assistance with wet lab and safety techniques, encouragement in fostering our appreciation for click chemistry and synthetic biology, and for graciously providing the lab space for us to perform our experiments

  • Finn Research Group: Dr. Liangjun Zhao, Allison Geoghan, Robert Hincapie, Prof. M.G. Finn

For their inspiration to us in pursuing synthetic biology, their support of iGEM at Georgia Tech, and for mentoring us in preparing us for the iGEM Jamboree

  • Barker Research Group: Dwight Chambers, Hayley Bachman, Prof. Tom Barker

For their enthusiasm in synthetic biology and interest in collaborating with our iGEM team

  • Lambert High School iGEM Team

For their assistance in administrative tasks and introducing us to iGEM

  • Georgia Tech iGEM club members and past iGEM team members

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
