In our institution there isn’t a synthetic biology course, and the competition was our opportunity to immerse ourselves to immerse ourselves in this complex world; we started with the project brainstorming in February, working against Paenibacillus larvae and Melissococcus plutonius in mid-march and running protocols in the lab in … until we Clearly state what the team accomplished. This wouldn't have been possible without all the persons and organizations that gave us their unconditional support throughout the development of the project. We really cherish all of this support; we are thankful because we learned hand-in-hand with many of them.
