Collaboration

This year, we made a long-term collaboration with SSHS-Shenzhen. Our team members helped them build a team and gave them advice on experiment, safety, and more details of competition. We also gave them instruction in modeling. In return, they did a close beta test of our application and mini program on WeChat in order to make our application and mini program better.
In summer, we shared our laboratories with SMS_Shenzhen guided them to do some foundational molecular biology experiments, like electrophoresis as well as transformation. We also gave them a hand on their Interlab. As reward for what we did, they provided us with detailed research about chitin.
This year, we invited a high school iGEM team, GreatBay_China to our campus for a 2018 iGEM Southern China Regional Meeting held by our team. We shared not only the experience of holding a meeting, but some new ideas of human practice. Additionally, we provided them with a laboratory for their Interlab.
We shared the reagent and experimental equipment with each other, like kit board, centrifuge, autoclave as well. Besides, we shared our experience of Interlab as well as parts of data from Interlab.
This year we kept in touch with SUSTech_Shenzhen team whose school is located next to us. They shared their electron microscope with us as soon as we required it. They also gave us suggestions on downstream of our project like fungal fermentation and model desin. Reciprocally, we offer instruction in experiment and forming basic part.
