During 2018, our team has collaborated with many other igem teams worldwide. Besides keeping close contact with all Nordic Teams through a common slack workspace for the project managers we have worked together in various other ways.
Vidilab
From the start Vidilab has been a loyal partner; giving us not only informing us about the problem that needs solving but also with the equipment needed for RNA sequencing. In addition, they sponsored us with financial support in order to further the field of veterinary diagnostics.
Vidilab has throughout the summer been kind enough to provide us with fecal samples from a broad range of horses. This company has been a bridge between us and horse owners, giving us invaluable contacts and sharing our market analysis.

iGEM Stockholm
Since 2017, iGEM Uppsala and iGEM Stockholm have been collaborating to host panel discussions. This year we have evolved the concept making it a science symposium with two sessions, the first about how to maintain a healthy mental state while working in science and the second about biohacking. What’s also new is that Lund has also joined the event and the work in arranging it. The work started in June and we starting having meetings in early July, with a session every second week. The symposium were held at Uppsala University in late September were students, professors and previous iGEM participants attended.
Furthermore, iGEM Uppsala and iGEM stockholm have had a close relationship this year and held several social events together such as BBQs.

iGEM UC Louvain
Our collaboration with UC Louvain has distributed our market analysis form in several Belgian horse community forums. In exchange we have been helping them by trying to find the source of error in why their interlab data didn’t get accepted by sharing our advice from our personal experience with the Interlab protocol.

The header I want I put here
The text that I want will be here, in between these tags
Here is a second paragraph with E.coli written in italics. Any found genes which display promise will have to be validated by qPCR (which is a similar method) in a second run to confirm that they are only expressed due to the strongyle presence. Another approach to tackle our challenge is to screen for interaction between the surface proteins on the strongyle and short peptides. Through affinity screening of a random peptide library displayed on the surface of phages, we can select a peptide with a high affinity to the nematodes surface.
