<h3>Manchester-Graz: the first inter-European iGEM team</h3>

<p>Due to existing collaboration between the University of Manchester and the Graz University of technology in several research programs, such as CHEM21 and KYROBIO (European research projects), we came together as the first truly international cross-country iGEM team, supervised by professors Eriko Takano, Rainer Breitling and Sabine Flitsch in Manchester, and Anton Glieder in Graz. For the Austrian postgraduate subteam, this was a chance to enter the competition for the first time, with the support of the undergraduate students from Manchester, who could build on previous iGEM experience at their university. Once the joint team was formed, weekly Skype meetings were held to agree on a project, taking advantage of the collaboration to cover a wider area of research than would be possible as individual teams. We found working together as an international team challenging, and the distance required us to find a topic that could be worked on independently whilst still achieving a common goal. Overcoming this challenge, coupled with the exchange of knowledge and experience between the sub-teams, makes working on this project all the more rewarding.</p>

<h4>Tips</h4>
+
<p>
−
<p>This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started: </p>
+
Our idea emerged from the different fields of interest of the students in Graz and Manchester, with the former wanting to generate a regulation system for protein synthesis, and the latter being more focused on medical aspects such as the synthesis of a drug. <a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/2/2c/Manchester-Graz_Manchester_big.jpg" target="_blank">

<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start. </li>
+
<img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/c/cf/Manchester-Graz_TeamManc.png" alt="Manchester" width="400" height="267"><br><center><b>Manchester</b></center>
−
<li>Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.</li>
+
</div></a></p>
−
<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
+
<p>The result was a quorum sensing based system for the autonomous production of L-DOPA and dopamine, with the students in Manchester working on the synthesis of L-DOPA and the students in Graz setting up an expression system that allows autonomous induction of several target genes. Using the advantage of two teams we can apply the L-DOPA pathway directly in a new system, which can already be evaluated in a real world context. <br><br>
−
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away. </li>
+
 
−
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read. </li>
+
 
−
<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Calendar_of_Events">iGEM 2015 calendar</a> </li>
+
 
−
<li>Have lots of fun! </li>
+
There are also numerous advantages for our team outside the science. Public outreach and human practices (a particular area of interest) are more efficiently conducted across the two countries and yield more interesting data. Different attitudes towards synthetic biology and modern biotechnology can be determined on an international scale, in Austria and the United Kingdom respectively. In addition, the potential to gain valuable knowledge from interviews with experts in industry, medicine and patient care are greatly broadened as is the possibility for raising awareness about Parkinson’s and synthetic biology. <br><br>

<h4> Uploading pictures and files </h4>
 
−
<p> You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2015 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name. <br />
 
−
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to <code>Team:YourOfficialTeamName/NameOfFile.jpg</code>. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)</p>

Manchester-Graz: the first inter-European iGEM team

Graz

Due to existing collaboration between the University of Manchester and the Graz University of technology in several research programs, such as CHEM21 and KYROBIO (European research projects), we came together as the first truly international cross-country iGEM team, supervised by professors Eriko Takano, Rainer Breitling and Sabine Flitsch in Manchester, and Anton Glieder in Graz. For the Austrian postgraduate subteam, this was a chance to enter the competition for the first time, with the support of the undergraduate students from Manchester, who could build on previous iGEM experience at their university. Once the joint team was formed, weekly Skype meetings were held to agree on a project, taking advantage of the collaboration to cover a wider area of research than would be possible as individual teams. We found working together as an international team challenging, and the distance required us to find a topic that could be worked on independently whilst still achieving a common goal. Overcoming this challenge, coupled with the exchange of knowledge and experience between the sub-teams, makes working on this project all the more rewarding.

Our idea emerged from the different fields of interest of the students in Graz and Manchester, with the former wanting to generate a regulation system for protein synthesis, and the latter being more focused on medical aspects such as the synthesis of a drug.

The result was a quorum sensing based system for the autonomous production of L-DOPA and dopamine, with the students in Manchester working on the synthesis of L-DOPA and the students in Graz setting up an expression system that allows autonomous induction of several target genes. Using the advantage of two teams we can apply the L-DOPA pathway directly in a new system, which can already be evaluated in a real world context.

There are also numerous advantages for our team outside the science. Public outreach and human practices (a particular area of interest) are more efficiently conducted across the two countries and yield more interesting data. Different attitudes towards synthetic biology and modern biotechnology can be determined on an international scale, in Austria and the United Kingdom respectively. In addition, the potential to gain valuable knowledge from interviews with experts in industry, medicine and patient care are greatly broadened as is the possibility for raising awareness about Parkinson’s and synthetic biology.
