Team Nankai 2015 is consist of 9 junior students, 11 senior students and 5 instructors. With our team established in March 2015, we are more than excited to join the big community of iGEM.

The idea of synthetic biology attracted us in a way that other fields of study never could, and our passion about science is the engine that has led us all the way through obstacles and setbacks. We are persevering and capable as a research team. However, at spare times, we are just a group of fun-loving young college students. There is always an atmosphere of anticipation that we could blend into iGEM community. So we are looking forward to seeing you at the Giant Jamboree! Want to know more about us? click here……

Although our project is promising and exciting, there are many difficulties when it comes to the practical fermentation. We need to consider lots of things before we can get our precious health pudding kit. For example, what culture medium should we use? How much carbon source should we add? How long should the fermentation process be? Well, we can hardly get what we want if it’s too short. On the other hand, a too long process is a waste of source and time, and you know, time means money in the industrial production. Most importantly, will our operation be harmful to the bacteria so that they can’t even survive? These are all we should take care of.

These practical questions are to be solved by our modeling. For details, click here.
