Attributions
We want to thank everyone who helped our idea realized. You gave us a chance to try to conquer the colon cancer, to help others by our own biological way.
Team Work
Ideas
We got this project through months of brainstorming by the whole team and this is our third idea. Kairan Zhang first brought up this idea in June after reading a lot of synthetic biology-related articles. And through the whole competition season, he always gave important advice on the project’s design.
Biobricks
Peixiang He, Zhihan Liang, Zhixiang Liu and Yirui Hong were mainly responsible for biobrick-related works in wet lab. Also they prepared engineered bacteria for the cell and mouse experiments.
Cell Experiments
Cancer cell lines HT29 and normal epithelial cell lines HACAT were maintained by Yuncong Ran, Shiyu Sun, Ruoyu Xia and Shihao Bai. They also did the short peptides binding experiments to test if the peptides can bind to T antigens on cancer cells.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound-related experiments were mainly designed and performed by Qingwei. He also developed the Matlab code for ultrasound image porcessing job. Shiyu Sun helped to do this job when Qingwei was busy with the team wiki.
Modeling
Shuyu Zheng, Shiyu Sun, Xin Zhang, Anyuan Tian and Yulin Liao did all the modeling work for our projects.
Human Practices
Bozitao Zhong, Weiwen Wu, Kuan Yao and Shihao Bai were in charge of the human practices part. Bozitao Zhong was the leader of this part. Weiwen Wu brought up a lot of new ideas. Kuan Yao organized the exhibition and Shihao Bai helped the research in Canada.
Art
Our team’s logo, banner, posters, uniforms and the layout of our wiki were all designed by Weiwen Wu. She helped us to rank the second best poster in the fifth CCiC. Yuncong Ran also helped to design the posters exhibited in our 10th anniversary exhibition.
Wiki
Our wiki were developed by all of us but Qingwei Fang and Yulin Liao construct the website’s frame for us in advance. Qingwei were in charge with communicating with the designer Weiwen and the development of wiki on computers while Yulin worked on the mobile web.
Presentation
Jiayi Xiao is our presentation mastermind. She attended the Asia-Pacific iGEM Conference on behalf of our team. Later, she instructed the presentation on the fifth CCiC. Our last presentation on Giant Jamboree was also conducted by her. Her speech is really appealing and full of passion.
Advisor Help
Zhijun Wang
Zhijun Wang was a member of the 2017 iGEM team. He designed the mechanism of recruitment after last year's competition and then participated in the selection and training of new team members. After that, he helped the preparation of iGEM 2018 and clarified some confusion related to ultrasound and modeling. He also gave advice on the construction of our Wiki.
Zhuoyang Chen
He was the advisor of our team. He helped molecular operations and troubleshoot in the wet lab. Furthermore, he helped the team work, keeping everything in progress and provided information about the competition.
Chang Gao
Chang Gao is an advisor in our team. She was an active team member last year, so her experiences were used to determine project, design and arrange experiments and so on. She gave many protocols of experiments as well, such as constructing plasmids, western blotting. Besides, she helped finish the western blotting.
Supervisor Support
Lin He
Lin He is the supervisor of our team and the director of Bio-X, who gave us funding and university-related support. He founded iGEM team SJTU-BioX-Shagnhai ten years ago and has been supporting us since then.
Gang Ma
Gang Ma is the supervisor of our team and the professor of Bio-X, who gave us advice and instructions. He cheerer us up when we felt frustrated. He encouraged us to overcome our limitations and keep trying for the best.
Yushu Wang
Yushu Wang spent a lot of time and energy on us, helping with all kinds of problems, from experiments materials supply to troubleshooting. She is just like a sister to all of us, so warm and kind.
