UIUC Illinois 2018 iGEM Midwest Meet Up w/ Washington University in St. Louis

On August 17th, a couple of team members from Washington University in St. Louis iGEM team came to our midwest meet up. We listened to Dr. Ting Lu give a presentation on his work in the field of synthetic biology and gave presentations to each other about our projects and the work we were conducting. We talked about problems we were facing and gave each other advice on how to overcome these problems. The WashU iGEM team was having some trouble with their PCR, so we gave them advice by explaining how we did ours to make it work. They also requested an EBY strain from us that the Zhao Lab from University of Illinois was in possession of. Also, they provided us with resources to obtain materials for our research for free such as competent cells. We had a great time sharing, learning and getting to know each other.
