ATTRIBUTIONS
In the past year, the ASIJ_TOKYO iGEM team has successfully used CRISPR technology to correct the SERPINA1 gene with E342K point mutation. Not only was the project successful, overall, our whole team gained an extremely deep understanding of genetics, proteins, and many topics that come along with it.
Ms. Crissy
Our team could not have been successful without our project advisor Ms. Crissy. She not only played a key role and guided us throughout the whole project, she provided an ordeal of knowledge, lab and moral support.
Machiko Naito is a high school Japanese teacher at ASIJ who helped us translate our surveys into Japanese.
Gifu University and Tokyo Tech iGEM teams
Members of the Gifu and Tokyo Tech iGEM teams gave us extremely helpful suggestions to make the protein purification process more precise, smoother, and faster. The team proposed that we should use a histidine tag which we helped us greatly successfully purify our protein.
Mr. Bell
Chris Bell is the high school head librarian at ASIJ. He helped the presenters prepare for the presentation at the Boston Jamboree.
