iGEM Southern China Regional Meeting(2017)

We were invited to SZU to participate in iGEM Southern China Regional Meeting. The meeting is divided into three parts: project presentation, Q&A and free discussion.

We gathered together to discuss the feasibility of the project, checked whether the ideas were flawed, and come up a lot of suggestion.

In this event we met various team from different universities, which established the foundation of cooperation with other teams.

Conference of China iGEMer Community(2017)

The Conference of China iGEMer Committee(CCiC) is a advanced academic conference of synthetic biology in China, aiming to promote the development of synthetic biology and improve the connectivity and communication of nationwide iGEM teams.

We attended the CCiC 2017 hosted by the FAFU-CHINA. This was a great opportunity for us to find out more about other teams’ projects and their work.

We were able to set up links with some of the teams there which led to some of our collaborations. In addition, it was useful to talk to other teams with more experience and get advice on things like poster design or presentation skills.

University Team

Meeting with SYSU-Software & SYSU-China (2017)

We went to the Sun Yat-sen University to meet with the two teams in SYSU-China and SYSU-Software. At the beginning of the team's establishment, we exchanged experience in recruiting, teaming, projecting, and training. We learned that the SYSU team has a comprehensive set of training courses to improve the experimental skills and abilities of team members, and will also train the next session. Members of this, which left a deep impression on us.

Further Cooperation with SYSU-Software

Since the modeling of SYSU-Software is very attractive to us, our team has established long-term cooperation with SYSU-Software, made many face-to-face contacts, and discussed in depth the development trend of synthetic biology and the diversity of application fields. SYSU-Software was invited to our college to conduct a presentation and showcase the software they developed. Later, we used the software to help us brainstorm and project.

Meeting with Peking & SCUT (2017)

Under the leadership of Zhang Haoqian's predecessors, our three schools got the opportunity to meet and exchange. Zhang Yihao, the captain of Peking University, showed us the growth trajectory and achievements of Peking from its establishment to the present. The captain of the Chinese team also showed the process from prototype to formation. In the process of communication, we have formed a clearer concept and have a deeper understanding of the game.

Help NPU-China complete modeling (2017)

Wang Weixu, who take over model in our team, helped NPU-China complete their model - Metabolic Flow Modeling in 2017.

Meeting with SUSTech_Shenzhen(2018)

Members of SUSTech_Shenzhen were invited to come to Guangzhou to meet with us, and we exchanged opinions on the project. During the discussion, the team of the Southern University of Science and Technology raised potential problems that our project may encounter, as well as areas that need to be improved, such as how to remove the resistance after plasmid insertion.

High School

GDSYZX(2018)

What we did for them

We conducted a two-day basic experimental skills training course for the 2018 high school iGEM team GDSYZX to help them better complete wet experiment tasks in the competition.

What’s more, we also started a seven-day art design course to help GDSYZX team better complete their wiki, poster, banner, logo, team flag, team uniform and other aspects of design work. In this course, we explained the iGEM official requirements, and taught some basic use of design software, and led the two high school teams to make their prototypes of posters, logos, and wikis.

GZHS-United(2018)

We learned that the high school team GZHS-United encountered equipment and venue difficulties when completing the interlab task. We helped the high school team complete the interlab competition requirements.

What’s more, we also started a seven-day art design course to help GZHS-United team better complete their wiki, poster, banner, logo, team flag, team uniform and other aspects of design work. In this course, we explained the iGEM official requirements, and taught some basic use of design software, and led the two high school teams to make their prototypes of posters, logos, and wikis.

What they did for us

GZHS-United to provide us with the required tasks interlab of Silica Beads.

Guangdong Country Garden School

Guangdong Country Garden School is the first IBC international school in China, and the school encourage sthents to participate international competition such as iGEM.Last year ,some studennt in it took part in the 2017 Guangdong iGEM High School United and achieve sucess.This year our team communicate closely with the class majored in economic and biology.We introduce the theoretical knowledge about synthetic biology to them, and help them to conduct the simple basic molecular manipulation.We wish to stimulate their interest in Synthetic biology and instill new life for the next iGEM competition.And after this,they aslo do the public education and investigation according what they have learned from this activity to give the public a deeper impression on transgene.
