Pest Control by Fluorescence

Interview: Dr. Yu-Chan Chao
Date: Oct. 9, 2018
Location: video chat
Reflection: GE mosquito application

Why: To understand pest control by fluorescence and GE mosquito work

How: We met Dr. Yu-Chan Chao from Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica through video chat to discuss the paper he published for his research in United States. [Nature (1996) Pest control by fluorescence.]

What:

1. He described the biotechnique he developed in the paper.
2. He introduced his current work and research interests in his lab.
3. He gave comments to our project about the blood testing with GE mosquitoes.
4. He encouraged us never give up and continue toward the goal what we set in the beginning.

Reflection:

We’re excited about the work Dr. Chao did using GE insect to pest control by fluorescence. It’s not only interesting but also workable. We learned doing scientific research in a lab is not easy at all, as what we experienced in iGEM project this year. However, we’re encouraged from the distinguished researcher and will keep moving forward to our dream.
