Synthetic Biology Design Course
Dr. Richard Anthony teaches a course in the spring to give students some insight to Synthetic Biology and to work on exploring and brainstorming ideas that can be turned into projects for the iGEM competition. "This course focuses on the design of novel biological parts, devices and systems, and their use in engineering cell function. Bioengineering principles and the design of genetic logic circuits, memory modules, biosensors and other cellular devices will be addressed. For the final project, students will design a novel biological system that meets the standards and goals of the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition." [1] Two of our summer team members, Elisa and Emilie, enrolled in this course. We began having weekly meetings and brainstorming project ideas during our spring quarter, beginning March 5th. Ideas between our summer team's meetings and the class were exchanged, but we did not decide on the PEBBLE project until our summer team arrived on June 4th.
Starting June 6th, we began work in our Synthetic Biology laboratory and learned the basic protocols we would be using throughout the project. Throughout the summer, we worked ~40 hour weeks, furthering our outreach, modeling, design, and wiki portions. The last of our ordered DNA parts arrived on July 18th, so we began full work on the lab portion of our project in mid-July.
Attributions
General
-Rose-Hulman Biology and Biomedical Engineering Department for funding our iGEM summer team and project and for sending us to the Giant Jamboree.-Rose-Hulman Office of Communications and Marketing for ensuring the legality of our logos and designs.
Laboratory
-Alexander LaCrampe for giving us advice on organizing our team structure and being available to answer lab questions.-Maddie Muncie for being available to answer lab questions.
-Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) for synthesizing our DNA parts and primers.
Outreach and Human Practices
-Dr. Timothy Chow for providing feedback on our public survey and meeting us to revise it.Modeling
-Dr. David Goulet for being an available resource for our modeling questions.-Dr. Irene Reizman for being an available resource for our modeling questions.
Wiki
-None of us had any website design experience, so many tutorials were done through the w3schools site to learn techniques for basic coding and animations.-Our menu was in part inspired by the 2015 RHIT iGEM team
Bronze Medal Criterion #3
All of the work done in your project must be attributed correctly on this page. You must clearly state the work that was done by the students on your team and note any work that was done by people outside of your team, including the host labs, advisors, instructors, and individuals not on the team roster.
Please see the Medals requirements page for more details.
What should this page contain?
- Clearly state what the team accomplished
- General Support
- Project support and advice
- Fundraising help and advice
- Lab support
- Difficult technique support
- Project advisor support
- Wiki support
- Presentation coaching
- Human Practices support
- Thanks and acknowledgements for all other people involved in helping make a successful iGEM team
Tell us if your institution teaches an iGEM or synthetic biology class and when you started your project:
- Does your institution teach an iGEM or synthetic biology course?
- When did you start this course?
- Are the syllabus and course materials freely available online?
- When did you start your brainstorming?
- When did you start in the lab?
- When did you start working on your project?
Inspiration
Take a look at what other teams have done:
- 2011 Imperial College London (scroll to the bottom)
- 2014 Exeter
- 2014 Melbourne
- 2014 Valencia Biocampus
Why is this page needed?
The Attribution requirement helps the judges know what you did yourselves and what you had help with. We don't mind if you get help with difficult or complex techniques, but you must report what work your team did and what work was done by others.
Can we base our project on a previous one?
Yes! You can have a project based on a previous team, or based on someone else's idea, as long as you state this fact very clearly and give credit for the original project.
