Even with all of the effort we contributed to the project as a team, it would not have been possible without support from these individuals and groups.

General Support

• The University of Michigan’s Program in Biology, the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology department, the College of Engineering, and the Department of Human Genetics for providing us with funding.
• Dennis Drobeck for allowing us to use lab space in the Undergraduate Science Building on campus.
• Our corporate sponsors, Swift Biosciences and SnapGene for providing us with funds and software.
• The Ann Arbor T-Shirt Company for printing our team t-shirts.

Project support and advice

• Anuj Kumar and Marcus Ammerlaan, our faculty advisors, for all their support in technical troubleshooting and overseeing the project while also giving us the independence of being student researchers.
• Our alumni advisors, Cristina Castillo, Dany Lewin, and Aaron Rengburg, for helping us with project design and wetlab work.
• Andrew Lowell, PhD, for his advice on potential applications of our project in a lab environment.
• Yang Zhang, PhD, for her advice on potential applications of our project in a lab environment.

Fundraising help and advice

• Swift for providing fundraising and contributing to the Panel “The Ethics of Gene Editing”.
• The generous donors who helped fund our project through Experiment.com. Without them we would not be able to attend the competition.

Lab support

• Cristina Castillo for providing us with materials and equipment, including a plate reader, and helping us with wet lab work in her laboratory as well as sequence submission.
• Anuj Kumar for providing us with materials, reagents, and a microscope.

Project advisor support

• Aaron Renberg for technical support and helping with troubleshooting experiments.
• Dany Lewin for helping with organization and team logistics.

Presentation coaching

• Professor Carlos Aguilar for giving us advice on our presentation.

Human Practices support

• The Impression 5 Museum in Lansing, MI for hosting and helping us organize an event dedicated to educating young children and parents about synthetic biology and science.
• University of Michigan Professors Thom Sanders, Barry Bellmont, Jodyn Platt and Daniel Thiel, and CEO of Swift Biosciences Nathan Wood for participating as speakers in our panel event.

A final thanks...

To each and every one of our 2018 team members for making a memorable experience and working hard to make this project possible!
