Dates and training

1. Does your institution teach an iGEM or synthetic biology course?

No. Optional Course 3, which is “compulsory” for students in NFLS Adavance Biology classes covers synthetic biology in several independent research introductions. No lab work in this field for any student is required.

2. When did you start your brainstorming?

The former members of iGem 2017 was inspired on the World Cancer Day (Feb. 4) of 2018. After the recruiting of new members in late Feb, 2018, we started brainstorming and had our alpha version of the design of gene-editing cancer therapy in March.

3. When did you start in the lab?

Mar, 2018.

4. When did you start working on your project?

Feb, 2018
