iGEM is about synthetic biology and about pushing the boundaries of the field to meet the needs of modern day problems with innovative solutions, however the spirit of iGEM has always been collaborative and we believed in adopting that spirit in the process of our project.
It was extremely important for us to collaborate with different laboratories that have expertise in the different aspects of the project. Our interactions with them were invaluable in the development of our project and we learned a lot from their input in order to adapt and improve the project to be shaped to meet the needs of the field and the relevant stakeholders. We have elaborated our story on our Integrated Human Practices page.
Equally important to our project was collaboration with other iGEM teams working on aspects of the projects that we could learn from as well as interactions where we could share our knowledge and experience gained through our project.
