Project Attribution
We are the first iGEM team in Hebrew University's history. One year ago, when we had only thought of joining iGEM, the students and administrators of our university had not even heard of the conference. But as the word spread and momentum had been building with our committed team-members, the entirety of our project was being built from the bottom up. Before even finding a PI, our small group of 2nd and 3rd year undergrad students had begun developing research ideas, recruiting new-members, searching for funding and establishing the parameters of what it would take to actually compete at iGEM.
We've made mistakes along the way, perhaps many. As the first iGEM team to have been established at our university, we met challenges that, we hope, will be stream-lined for future teams at Hebrew U.
Founding staff members
Despite our team-members stubborn commitment to trailblazing this enterprise, we could not have accomplished an ounce of it without some key administrators and advisors from our school: Thank you,
for helping us obtain the means to build and complete our project.
Mentors
Aside from our beloved PI, Assaf Mosquna, whom graciously dedicated countless hours to helping us with every step along the way, we had found other mentors from within the administration and staff of our university that did not hesitate to offer their time, guidance and administrative help to our team. All of our mentors helped us shape our project into a tangible and realistic form. They made sure that our youthful imaginations had something to stand on.
We'd also like to thank Almog Angel (iGEM Tel-Hai 2016) and Ricarina Rabinovitz (iGEM Technion 2014) for their indispensable advice and guidance in the beginning of our journey.
Experts support
Over the course of the year, several individuals stand out as having played a key role in the undertaking of some of our core projects. Without them, we could not have achieved the multi-dimensional operations and acts we had sought to achieve and are grateful to have met and worked with such professionals.
Thank you,
for their consultation and guidance throughout our project.
for meeting with us and providing religious and cultural insights regarding our Human Practices work.
Associated Students
Throughout our iGEM journey, several students from our university helped. These students supported us along the way and provided a helping hand for some of our key activities. We greatly appreciate their contribution to the project:
Creative proccesses guidnace
Many of the operations we had performed throughout the year did not necessarily come to fruition. Nevertheless, many hours were poured into them by our team as well as several experts we had consulted with. We would like to acknowledge and thank those people for their contribution during the creative processes of our projects.
on looking into the possibility of improving one of our enzymes using computational design.
In speaking with these business leaders - some of which have actually brought GMO's to market, and others with a deep understanding of Agro-tech product development - we came to understand that a solution such as ours has the potential to reach the market, but that, if it did, the product would not necessarily reach the regions of the world that need it the most. For this reason, our team dropped the idea of creating a business model, and instead adopted an open-source model so that our solution would not be restricted from any particular country or region.
