Team Accomplishments

Project:

The prototype of our project was raised by Yun DONG and Yiyi WANG in our brainstorm session in Feb. 2018. This idea was then modified and improved by Yuanli GAO. Our investigators Prof. Chunbo LOU and Prof. Jiangyun WANG helped in our project design. Our advisors Fankang MENG also offered help in project design.

Experiments:

Our experiments started in July 2017. As our team's leader, Yuanli GAO designed and monitored our experiments. He also did the primary work of data analysis. Our advisors Fankang MENG and Xiaohong LIU gave their suggestions on project design. Our experiments were accomplished with the joint effort of the following 9 teammates: Yuanli GAO, Yun Dong, Ziyi ZHAO, Zpeng XU, Yiyi WANG, Liangpu WANG, Yuyan NI, Zhaoying PAN.

Hardware:

Our hardware was designed by Zhaoying PAN, Yuyan NI, while Shiyang WANG participated in the discussion. Zhaoying PAN and Yuyan NI build the prototype device with accessible materials in our lab. Zhaoying PAN designed and made the final hardware.

Software:

Our software was designed by Yun DONG and Shiyang WANG. The software was written by Shiyang WANG.

Human Practice:

Yun DONG is the leader of our HP Squad. She accomplished most of the contact and interview work and record every HP activity. Jiachen HU and Yaru TIAN made the educational videos. Yufei SHAN contacted the educational speech in the primary school and some meet-ups. Yuanli GAO, Ziyi ZHAO, Zepeng XU, Yiyi WANG, Liangpu WANG, Yuyan NI, Zhaoying PAN also contributed to the HP work.

Wiki:

Our wiki was designed by Shiyang WANG, Yaru TIAN and Yufei SHAN. The coding work was finished by Yuanli GAO, Shiyang WANG, with the help of Fankang Meng. The paperwork was finished by the joint effort of Yuanli GAO, Yun Dong, Ziyi ZHAO, Zpeng XU, Yiyi WANG, Liangpu WANG, Yuyan NI, Zhaoying PAN.

Art work:

Our art work was accomplished by our excellent art designer Yaru TIAN, Yufei SHAN, while Shiyang WANG participated in the discussion.

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:

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.

For example, you might choose to work with an animal model during your project. Working with animals requires getting a license and applying far in advance to conduct certain experiments in many countries. This is difficult to achieve during the course of a summer, but much easier if you can work with a postdoc or PI who has the right licenses.

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.
