Collaborations

Collaboration with TAS Taipei iGEM team

• We gave them the part with yebF which is a motor protein that brings our product out of the cell. This became essential to their project because it allows their protein to be delivered out into the reservoir and available to diffuse through the bandage.
• Furthermore, NYMU hosted an educational summer camp that allowed members from the 2015 TAS_Taipei team and the 2016 TAS_Taipei to attend and learn.
• We have also been supportive for helping TAS igem team with research and running the model for diffusion, bandage, and the ACT inhibition model. We provided them with modeling expertise, literature values for our models and debugging expertise.

In addition to our help on TAS, we also collaborated with TAS

• To provide us with the LuxR part which is pivotal for their oscillator. LuxR is essential for our oscillator which is used to report the presence of a malicious spore in the device part of their project.
• TAS also helped NYMU by running the initial experiments for their Microbial fuel cell prototype for their project. We provided them with initial test results of the prototype for their project so that we found the correct soil to water to bacteria ratios(August 2015).
• Three members of TAS (Alvin, Fiona and Huiru) are members of both NYMU and TAS teams. They worked at NYMU over the summer for the NYMU_Taipei team and are presenting with the team at the jamboree!

Joining the Meetup hosted by NCTU iGEM team

We joined the meetup hosted by NCTU this summer. Many teams from Taiwan and China gathered to have a seminar of their projects.
