Collaborations
International synthetic biology symposium
We hosted an international symposium with home speakers, invited keynote speakers from both academia and industry as well as four neighbouring iGEM teams. A debate about the risks, the regulation and the ethics connected to synthetic biology, free food and more were part of the symposium. Go to our symposium page to find out what we did exactly.
York water samples
We took water samples from the Dijle river and tab water we collected from a normal tab inside our building for comparison. We filtered both samples using a 0.22μm filter. After measuring the ph the 10 Falcon-tubes with the samples went to York by mail. We hope the samples served the York team well.
The Aix-Marseille survey
We worked with iGEM Aix-Marseille's on chewing gum consumption, production and removal in Belgium. In return we earned the participation badge shown above.
The french iGEM meetup.
We took part in the French iGEM meetup organized by the Bordeaux iGEM team. There we got to know the French iGEM teams. We presented our project in the Cap Sciences convention centre. Afterwards everyone shared lab experience and the group talked about problems we have had had in the lab and discussed possible solutions. Additionally we discussed bio brick creation and submission. Generally we found the Bordeaux team members to be very friendly, we where picked up from the airport and even invited to dinner after the meetup.
The Edmonton call
We talked to Edmonton about our iGEM experience. We are hoping their guidebook will turn out to be a great help for future iGEM teams.
