Team:ZJU-China/Collaborations
Teams tending to solve practically social problems may meet problems when perform their integrated Human Practice. This year, in line with the principle of “to be more responsible and reflect more”, we take part in the research conducted by Tianjin University on the transformation of biotechnology achievements. Through this expended research, we demonstrated the verify feasibility of the transformation of our iGEM project this year and made efforts on the practically execute solutions. Particularly in this research paper, we are responsible for the part of the demonstration on the transformation of our project combining the features of iGEM competition.

SKLMT-ChinaIn terms of collaboration, we have many communications with SKLMT-China. We used firefly luciferase report assay to characterize the strength of the promotor they provided and helped them establish the Pseudomonas fluorescence promoter pool. In detail, we electrotransform the plasmids into Pseudomonas fluorescens and used the intensity of the firefly controlled by the promoter to reflect the strength of the promoter. At the same time, SKLMT also used the reporter experiment to characterize our part. Thanks to the results came from them, we can verify our data and make the improve part section more complete.
Below is the result.
Collaborate Educate Activity: Techfest in Technology and Science Museum
Compared to the Shengxi Techfest held by ZJU-China last year, this year we conducted this activity with a hope of getting more iGEM teams involved. Here, as the collaboration we highlight above, we sincerely thanks to the participants of JNU-iGEM, ZJUT-iGEM, HFLS_ZhejiangUnited, Worldshaper-XSHS, ATSWS.
With the help of these teams, we successfully held the Shengxi Techfest and won a good reputation for this annual Techfest. Hope we can do better next year!
Worldshaper-XSHSWorldshaper-XSHS had problem in the E.coli transformation and then they came to us for help. After a brief introduction of their project, we analyzed and pointed out that it was the invalid homemade E.coli receptive state was to be blame. Hence, they did experiments in our lab by utilizing our commercial E.coli strain BL21 with a good receptive state. This attempt provided enough opportunities for them to discuss the difference between the experiments, which exerted great advantage for them to solve such problems in the nest phase. We hope they can achieve their project and take a good grade home!
Collaboration with CSU-China
Meetup helps communication much easier. This year, the student leader Xiangyu Li of CSU-China team came to our laboratory and built connections with ZJU-China. After brief presentations, we exchanged views on our respective projects. We were impressed by their ideas on cancer therapy and considered it a promising way to developed their project rely on their advantages of medicine science in CSU.
Keep in touch and inspire more!
