Collaborations

Team Chalmers Gothenburg

As a new iGEM team we were searching for other iGEM teams to discuss our ideas and hear their experience. We contacted several teams that worked on a projects related to our concept during previous years. We were really excited that all of these teams answer to our e-mails. Eventually, our biggest collaboration has been with team Chalmers Gothenburg from Sweden.

Like us, team Chalmers Gothenburg is working with yeast mating pheromone pathway. Their project Study in Scarlet is focusing on detection of contamination using yeast. See their wiki for more information.

We had several Skype meetings and exchanged many friendly and helpful e-mails. Team Chalmers Gothenburg showed deep interest in our simulator CeCe. Therefore, we decided to create a simulation of their contamination detection. See our Software wiki page or


Collaborations

Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.

Which other teams can we work with?

You can work with any other team in the competition, including software, hardware, high school and other tracks. You can also work with non-iGEM research groups, but they do not count towards the iGEM team collaboration gold medal criterion.

In order to meet the gold medal criteria on helping another team, you must complete this page and detail the nature of your collaboration with another iGEM team.

Here are some suggestions for projects you could work on with other teams:

  • Improve the function of another team's BioBrick Part or Device
  • Characterize another team's part
  • Debug a construct
  • Model or simulating another team's system
  • Test another team's software
  • Help build and test another team's hardware project
  • Mentor a high-school team
