Notebook
Document the dates you worked on your project. This should be a detailed account of the work done each day for your project.
Day 1 -07/06/18
Started the day with introductory talks explaining iGem and the wiki, we then went onto look at previous competition entries. Jem Stach and Phil Wright spoke about their experience in the field, research interests and what makes a good competition entry.
Day 2 - 08/06/18
The day began with a talk from Jon Marles-Wright about the importance of human practices and the impacts of our projects in the real world. This was followed by Dana Ofiteru who taught us about mathematical modeling of biological systems. In the afternoon, plant biologist Max Kapralov discussed using synthetic biology to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis. Finally, Rachel Armstrong (professor of experimental architecture) discussed the potential of microorganism in waste management systems and energy production in the built environment. Rachel also outlined political and economic issues surrounding synthetic biology.
Day 3 - 11/06/18
We started the day with a talk from Angel Goni Moreno who discussed the principles of synthetic biology and provided guidance on the implementation of logic in Biology. The Masters students who are working on the Interlab study explained their role in the project and we brainstormed ideas. Following this, the Synthetic Biology Masters students discussed their individual projects involving modelling lab work. Each of the team gave a presentation on a previous competition entry that has won an award.
