Team Work

Ideas

We got this project through months of brainstorming by the whole team and this is our third idea. Kairan Zhang first brought up this idea in June after reading a lot of synthetic biology-related articles. And through the whole competition season, he always gave important advice on the project’s design.

Biobricks

Peixiang He, Zhihan Liang, Zhixiang Liu and Yirui Hong were mainly responsible for biobrick-related works in wet lab. Also they prepared engineered bacteria for the cell and mouse experiments.

Cell Experiments

Cancer cell lines HT29 and normal epithelial cell lines HACAT were maintained by Yuncong Ran, Shiyu Sun, Ruoyu Xia and Shihao Bai. They also did the short peptides binding experiments to test if the peptides can bind to T antigens on cancer cells.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound-related experiments were mainly designed and performed by Qingwei. He also developed the Matlab code for ultrasound image porcessing job. Shiyu Sun helped to do this job when Qingwei was busy with the team wiki.

Modeling

Shuyu Zheng, Shiyu Sun, Xin Zhang, Anyuan Tian and Yulin Liao did all the modeling work for our projects.

Human Practices

Bozitao Zhong, Weiwen Wu, Kuan Yao and Shihao Bai were in charge of the human practices part. Bozitao Zhong was the leader of this part. Weiwen Wu brought up a lot of new ideas. Kuan Yao organized the exhibition and Shihao Bai helped the research in Canada.

Art

Our team’s logo, banner, posters, uniforms and the layout of our wiki were all designed by Weiwen Wu. She helped us to rank the second best poster in the fifth CCiC. Yuncong Ran also helped to design the posters exhibited in our 10th anniversary exhibition.

Wiki

Our wiki were developed by all of us but Qingwei Fang and Yulin Liao construct the website’s frame for us in advance. Qingwei were in charge with communicating with the designer Weiwen and the development of wiki on computers while Yulin worked on the mobile web.

Presentation

Jiayi Xiao is our presentation mastermind. She attended the Asia-Pacific iGEM Conference on behalf of our team. Later, she instructed the presentation on the fifth CCiC. Our last presentation on Giant Jamboree was also conducted by her. Her speech is really appealing and full of passion.
