In the evening of 25th May, UCL iGEM team was invited to have its own stall at the Science Museum. The invitation worked well in our favour as it was themed synthetic biology. Such themed nights in science museum are after hours hence, “late” and only held at the last Wednesday of every month. As we were still developing concrete project ideas then, we decided to stick to more general aspects of synthetic biology and make it interactive to all sorts of people with or without synbio background. One of the most fascinating topic of synthetic biology we decided to focus on that night was Craig Venter’s code table with alphabets and punctuations.
 
−
<br/><br/>
 
  
  
−
We thought the curious visitors would be able admire and appreciate synthetic biology more if they could relate to it in some personal level. We displayed multiple copies of Craig Venter’s synthetic codon table and initially explained the idea and logic behind this. One mg of DNA can potentially store upto 455 exabytes of data was able to constantly surprise people. <br/><br/>
 
  
−
To show an example of the data could be synthetically stored we used four different beads labelled A,G,T and C and using the Craig venter’s table people could convert their initials into three base codes. This was very helpful as people could then see how this system would work. Three unique non-degenerate bases made up of combination of A,G,T and C which represents either an alphabet or special character. <br/><br/>
 
−
Once they were explained about the codon table, some of our team members were dedicated to help them weave a bracelet with their codon names on. Everyone was happy to learn something new and have a bracelet as a memorabilia. <br/> <br/>
 
  
−
Apart from the general talks on synthetic biology and Craig-Ventre’s now even more famous codon table, to the people with further interest in knowing what iGEM was, we talked about our project and participation and what we hoped to achieved by the end of this summer. <br/><br/>
+
<p>In iGEM it is all about collaborating! Throughout the summer we have been in contact with multiple iGEM teams from all over the world to improve our projects, benefit from one another's ideas and also because working together is always more fun.</p>

Overall, we had a good experience talking to people about synthetic biology, iGEM ,bacteria and ourselves !

<p>In collaboration with the London Biohackspace and Birkbeck College, we hosted an intensive, gruelling bootcamp that enlightened the attendees about various biobrick assembly protocols, biohacking, automation, and softwares associated with synthetic biology. The bootcamp culminated in a fascinating mini Jamboree, which featured all our iGEM projects, wiki and modeling tutorials, and even a DIY Spectrophotometer made in 1 week! </p>

  UCL iGEM 2015 team participated in a one-day long synthetic biology showcase meeting, a first of its future annual event organised by UCL to present some of the leading developments and ideas of UCL Synthetic Biology community and of UK and European Synthetic Biology.<br/><br/>
 
−
 
−
The one-day meeting is an opportunity for early career researchers, senior researchers and industry to share their progress and discuss the future direction of Synthetic Biology at UCL. The participating researchers present 20 minutes long talk on their project. At the end of the project presentation, a poster session is held. This is where the researchers and the audience can discuss their project, ideas and risks in details. <br/><br/>
 
−
 
−
We had a wonderful afternoon in this event. Apart from presenting our poster on this event, we got feedbacks and questions from different researchers. It helped us see the challenges and possibilities of our project in new light. While the research in brain-gut axis is still recent and a lot needs to be done, the potential hope from synthetic biology exploiting this axis is tremendous.

Collaborations
▼

In iGEM it is all about collaborating! Throughout the summer we have been in contact with multiple iGEM teams from all over the world to improve our projects, benefit from one another's ideas and also because working together is always more fun.


UCL iGEM Bootcamp Mini Jamboree

In collaboration with the London Biohackspace and Birkbeck College, we hosted an intensive, gruelling bootcamp that enlightened the attendees about various biobrick assembly protocols, biohacking, automation, and softwares associated with synthetic biology. The bootcamp culminated in a fascinating mini Jamboree, which featured all our iGEM projects, wiki and modeling tutorials, and even a DIY Spectrophotometer made in 1 week!


London iGEM Meet-up

iGEM teams around London met up on 31st of July at Birkbeck and presented the current progress of their research projects to each other, followed by a poster session and time for socialising. The teams involved were: UCL, Birkbeck, London Biohackspace, Westminster and Kent.


2014 Aalto-Helsinki Team: Blue-Light-Response Element

In order to use our constructs as personalised treatment devices, we collaborated with the Aalto-Helsinki team to use the blue-light-response element they created in 2014. The idea is to have a handheld/mobile device that can emit blue light and induce expression of out constructs when needed.


UCL iGEM 2015 Collaboration survey

This year UCL iGEM team has prepared an ambitious survey to to get the public's perception on synthetic biology, genetic engineering and probiotics. As survey was translated into 5 different languages including Spanish, French, Portuguese and German we have collaborated with iGEM teams from all around the world to collect as many data as possible as well as see how people's opinion on these topics varies from country to country.

All our collaborators received a badge to express our gratitude for the joint collaboration.The teams that collaborated with us were:

  • Brasil-USP iGEM
  • Bordeaux iGEM
  • Macquarie iGEM
  • UNSW iGEM

2015 Oxford Team: short video assays on Synthetic biology and Health

In August 2015, members of the Oxford and UCL iGEM teams met up in London to get a grasp of the way people perceive Synthetic Biology applications in healthcare. The discussions worked as a platform for a collaboration between the Manchester-Graz, UCL and Oxford teams. In this joint initiative, they were able to gather some exciting new ideas on how to better develop an iGEM project that targets health conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), schizophrenia and other mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.


2015 Paris-Bettencourt Team: Rhizi database

We joined the Rhizi graphical database created by the Paris-Bettencourt team and received a pretty collaboration badge as a token for our appreciation.


Chang Gung University iGEM: Joint Survey

We collaborated in a joint survey about our projects with several iGEM teams from different countries.
