Those students who study science alone are all in their final semester of a four-year degree, and have taken various courses in microbiology, molecular and cell biology as well as genetics, and similar fields at the South China Agricultural University (SCAU). And they also learned a lot of special skill to make themselves a qualified iGEMers.
WEITENG XU: He set up the SCAU-iGEM 2018 team and served as the captain, not only for wet experiment, but also for our iGEM project.
WEIXU WANG (KEN): He had a self-taught bioinformatics skill and was in charge of the mathematic model part of our project.
YINPIN HUANG: She was responsible for planning and organizing the human practices works (social activities, education and entrepreneurships), and she also handled the molecular cloning experiments.
YINGLI LI (LILY): She worked mostly on the molecular cloning, and she constructed of the expression vector with Yinpin Huang. Lily also was responsible for the work about lab safety.
WEI WANG/ YAOHUA HUANG: They were charge in the cyanobacteria transformation and confirmed the modeling predicting result showed by Ken.
XINYU ZHANG (DAISY): She was participated in news reports and art design of our team, and she had donated so many beautiful ideas.
JIAHUA ZOU (KAWAH): She was the designer of our team, had designed including the logo, team flag, team uniform, poster, banner and other promotional items.
JIADONG LI/XINLIN HUANG: They worked together to accomplish the design and construction of WiKi contents.
Dr HAO WANG: Our mentor, professor Hao Wang gave us advice and suggestion, and our team members can talk with him , search for his help anytime when we met difficulty to ensure that there would be consistency in our project.
iGEM Counselor Committee of SCAU: Professors Yaoguang Liu, Yiqun Deng, Gang Hao, Haihong Wang, Jikai Wen, Guohui Zhu and Ms Dongmei He, all of them were responsible and selfless to help us to make iGEM possible.
The training of iGEM and synthetic biology was also done on the go as the project progressed with the help of our advisors, XXX and XXX.
Our project was supported by grants from the Institute of Innovation & Entrepreneurship, the College of Life Sciences, Department of Foreign Affairs of SCAU.
The College of Life Sciences of SCAU: The college had provided us with an opening molecular laboratory where is our daily operation bench, a meeting room for our discussion, a plant culture room for the culture of cyanobacteria and a bacterial operation room for the bacterial safety operation.
State Key Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Subtropical Agro-bioresources (SKL-CUSA): Thank to the advanced machines and mature methods provided by them and we can finish the experiments smoothly.
Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences: They Sent us with the cyanobacteria :Synechocystis sp. (FACHB-898), Scytonema javanicum(FACHB-887), Microcoleus vaginatus(FACHB-253);
Qingdao Institute of Biomass Energy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences: They gifted us with the cyanobacterial expression vector pFQ20.
iGEM Team TUST-CHINA(2017): Thanks for the protocol of bacteria genome extraction.
During the human practices, we received many assistances and cooperation from people and organizations.
Gansu Desert control Research Institute: They provided us with the valuable environmental data of desert and sand sample from Gansu province for our simulation experiment.
The Youth League Committee of SCAU: for Bauhinia Scientific & Cultural Festival, public education and popular science, the support of Graffiti Wall.
The College of Life Sciences of SCAU: for the help of Laboratory Open days.
GZHS-united(2018)/GDSYZX(2018): We help them to organize the iGEM team and we had cooperation with them in interlab experiment.
iGEM Team: SYSU-China(2017)/ SYSU-Software (2017)/SCUT-ChinaA(2018)/NEU-ChinaB(2018)/ SUSTech_Shenzhen(2018)/FAFU-CHINA(2017) for the collaboration, communications, cooperation and iGEM gathering.
SCAU Affiliated Primary school: for education courses of Biology.
