Team OUC-China: Main

MEMBER'S ATTRIBUTION

From the beginning of 2018, OUC-China have brand new members for this competition season. With the help of experienced team leaders before, we build a team consists of 10 undergraduate students from different majors and three grades. And by sharing happiness and woe this season, now we become close friends and have the tacit understanding. All the members in 2018 OUC-China devoted the best of themselves to develop the project. At the same time, we would have gone nowhere without the help from many other people from our school, other institutions and the society. We sincerely appreciate all the help!

Project design

Yunqian Zhang, captain of OUC-China iGEM 2018 and general affair supervisor, was responsible for designing our project and experiment. She designed and checked all the circuit as well as the primers used in PCR and part standardization. She provided basic experimental scheme for lab administrator. She was responsible for construct and test by microplate reader of polycistron circuit. She is also responsible for submitting parts and document the experimental characterization.

Yanju Chen, vice-captain of our team, pushed the preceding of human practice and communication with other teams. She kept connection with all the professors who helped us. She played main role of all the work about human practice and collaboration.

Jiacheng Huang, vice-captain of our team and he build all the models. He was in charge of modeling and excavated deeply in theory who also is one of wiki designer. He selected all the Csy4 mutants and hairpin mutants to meet our goal. He usually stay up late for our experiments!

Qinbo Qiao, lab administrator and arranged the journal to get visa. Her major work was part standardization and extracted a mount of DNA. She also connected with all the foreign teams who helped us to translate our comic book! At the same time, she kept connection with them about further collaboration!

Xudong Liu, lab administrator, was in charge of construct circuits by using 3A assembly and detected the expression of proteins. Also he was responsible for the measurement of the growth rate of E.coli, providing experimental limits for model. He changed our experimental scheme with need at any moment.

Qingjie Li, the financial manager of our team and designer for our computer game——Csy4 Go! She was also responsible for our motA test system. She designed the experiment for this system and finished all the lab work for this part by herself. She helped us with a lot of biological order for biotechnology companies.

Kai Sun, the web designer who established the structure of our wiki, poster, team uniform and many other designing works. At the same time, he also take the task of Interlab measurement and primers design.

Anyi Li, was responsible for primers design and plan for human practice, took other members of the team to investigate and communicate with many biological enterprises. At the same time, she tested the second system which contain many Csy4 mutants and hairpin mutants by flow cytometry. And she wrote our notebook and took part in some lab work. She is also responsible for submitting parts and document the experimental characterization.

Luoqin Liu, the art designer who draw and created our wiki, poster and many other designing works. She was the little princess of our whole team who is really creative and give us a lot of fun by her paintbrush.

Hang jiang, the art designer who draw all the element of our computer game”Csy4 Go!”, and the brochure of our project. At the same time, she also created the cartoon figure for our project.

Acknowledgement for support

Our PI Prof. Chenguang Liu and Prof. Xingguo Liang offered us constructive advice over our project and gave us long-term technical consulting support through the procedure.

Prof Chunbo Lou and Pei Du, from Institute of Microbiology, provided us with original idea by their work and also taught us with some details about experiment and lab work.

Our PI Prof.Xingguo Liang offered us experimental lab.

Prof. Xianghong Wang kindly offered us experimental lab and restroom.

Our PI Prof.Zhe Chi helped us with gene synthesis and financial problems, at the same time, he also provided us with unique advice about project.

Prof. Xiaohua Zhang, from College of Marine Life, Ocean University of China, provided us instrument (Thermo Scientific NanoDrop) to measure the concentration of nucleic acid.

Prof. Prof Mingzhuang Zhu and Wei Yang provided us the flow cytometry which was really helpful for our second system.

Zhenghong Sui and Chengtian Zhao provided us with fluorescence microscope so we can record the expression of sfGFP in plate.

Xuan Wang & Haoqian Guo offered us constructive advice over our project.
