Team:Oxford/Collaboration
Collaboration
Warwick iGEM
We mini prepped and PCR’d part BBa_K314110 and sent it to the Warwick iGEM team after they had used up their own supply of the part from the iGEM kit plate. We were not using the part ourselves, so it was an ideal match.
iGEM Bordeaux
We ran toxicity assays for Team Bordeaux to evaluate the effect of their bacterial product (curdlan) on wild bacteria, using our Pseudomonas putida - which we were already using to test our anti-biofilm agents - as a proxy.
Leon's data and report can be found here.
National Chiau Tung University Formosa and National Taiwan University
Team member Lychee went to Taiwan to spend some time helping NCTU_Formosa in the lab by running a colonies PCR and gels, and by assisting with translation/improving the quality of English on their wiki.
He also visited iGEM NTU in their lab and gave them human practices advice based on some of own outreach ideas: school talks etcetera.
ITB Indonesia
We distributed and collected responses for their project questionnaire as part of their human practices.
Trinity College Dublin
They have helped our outreach and media reach a wider audience through the creation of iGEM Academy: a youtube channel intended as a central hub for past, present, and future iGEM teams to share their videos.
The youtube channel has a lot of intresting videos, check it out here.
UCL
They hosted us in London and filmed us interviewing the public on the shared issues surrounding our projects - since both of our teams initially planned to work with free-living engineered bacteria inside people. We had productive discussions of these aspects of our projects and this helped us refine our ideas going forward.
