Hailing from different backgrounds, the unique capabilities of each of our team members laid a strong foundation for our team to carry out most of the tasks ourselves. We conceived the idea, communicating it to our promotor, supervisior and the other advisors for their valuable feedbacks, and then proceeded with the experiments on our own with trainings from our advisors as and when it was required.
The implication of the saying 'Rome was not built in a day' can be applicable to our project as well, in such a manner that a project like this takes time and effort not only from one person but as a group. We are happy that together as a team we were able to design our wiki and also to make the scientific illustrations of our project by ourselves, without the need for any commercial assistance.
We extend our gratitude to our sponsors for granting us the required laboratory materials, equipments and above all for their financial support throughout the course of our project.
On this page, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to our project.
