About the Team

As the first modern university in China, Tianjin University has a history of 120 years. However, our School of Life Sciences is very young and fresh, which was founded in 2012. Though our college is so young, we have made many achievements owing to the great supports given by our university and the hard work of our professors and graduates.

This year is the first year when our school took part in the iGEM competition. The recruitment included all undergraduates in our university. After resume screening, audition and a tough winter vacation work which required candidates to submit a complete project design with protocols, 22 students were chosen as the members of team Tianjin 2015.

Our team consists of students majoring in life sciences, chemical/pharmaceutical/biological engineering, computer science, and even electric engineering. In particular, Yifan Zhang in computer science is from Zhejiang Sci-tech University. We are divided into four groups which are responsible for wet lab, wiki&design, modeling and human practice.

In our iGEM journey, our instructors always give us great help, and many graduates shared their experience with us. Since all of us are green hands in biological research, a small step for our project could be a gaint leap for ourselves. No matter what the result is, we have spent a happy and fulfilling time all together.

Wet lab:

Molecular cloning & Protein expression:

Ketong Shao, Jiashu Liu, Chenmao Wang, Yuwei Zhang, Junjie Yu, Yang Wang, Xuan Han, Yuchen Li, Haofeng Wang, Junjie Zong, Jinxin Hu, Qing Zhao, Dongqi Bao.
More detailed attribution about each part could be found in Team Parts.

Neo-Protein Design:

Our instructor Zefang Wang gives us great help in its design.

Super Protein Chip:

Heng Chi, Bowen Han, Xuemei Dong, Yuchen Li, Junjie Zong.

Stimulated Plastic Degradation:

Junjie Yu, Xuan Han, Jiashu Liu, Qing Zhao.

Protein Extraction Kit:
