General Support
First, we want to thank our supervisors for their support. Marianne Boes, Mike Boxem, Bas Dutilh, Seino Jongkees, and Louis Penning coached us during the whole process and contributed to all aspects of the project. The members and supervisors of the Utrecht iGEM team 2017 were always willing to answer questions and to give additional advice. We are especially grateful to Margot Koster, who participated in discussions on the strengths and weaknesses of our system, recommended several functional assays and arranged lab space during the summer break, and to Guido van der Ackerveken, for his advice on the correct use of biological databases.
Martje Ebberink from Utrecht Life Sciences supported us in many ways. She helped us with the venue for the iGEM Biotechnology Conference, she arranged a pitch workshop, she advised about the animation and funding and she helped us with multiple videos for our Social Media channels.
Kenny van Lith gave team building workshops in order to create better structure in our team.
Lab Support
The Division Developmental Biology, in particular Boxem and van den Heuvel Labs, provided assistance in many ways. Jana Kerver Stumpfova supervised lab activities and gave advice on molecular cloning and construct design. We are also thankful to Joao Ramalho, Victoria Garcia, Vincent Portegijs, Amir Homavar, Molly Godfrey, Janine Anselmo Cravo, Amalia Riga and Helena Pires for their advice on experimental procedures.
Ria Kas oversees the laboratory space we used
iGEM team Technion Israel 2016 kindly provided E. coli UU1250 and Tar constructs.
Shuangyu Bi kindly provided E. coli strains VS181 and pVS88.
iGEM team Groningen 2018 kindly tested and provided the Tar constructs from the iGEM Distribution Kit.
iGEM team Eindhoven 2018 kindly tested the Tar constructs from the iGEM Distribution Kit.
Human Practices Support
RIVM coached us with the integrated Human Practices and advised us which stakeholders could be useful to interview. An overview of their advice and how we applied it can be found at the Human Practices page
Wiki Support
Douwe Schulte advised us on responsive web design and tools to inspect elements. Furthermore, he assisted with solving a problem with image maps.
Sam Hariri explained how iGEM Utrecht 2017 composed their Wiki in order to understand certain web elements, gave advice on the lay-out of our lab notebook, and helped to fix a malfunction in the wiki lay-out.
