Project Foundation


This year's project toehold switch circuit design was a result of collaborative discussions with Dr. Styczysnki, Ms. Zhang and Ms. McNerney from Georgia Institute of Technology. Lambert iGEM worked extensively with third parties for this year's project, and we would like to offer our most sincere thanks for their help. Attributions are listed below by subproject.


Support


Scientific
  • Dr. Mark Styczynski from Georgia Institute of Technology
  • Dr. Saad Bhamla from Georgia Institute of Technology
  • Ms. Yan Zhang from Georgia Institute of Technology
  • Ms. Monica McNerney from Georgia Institute of Technology

Dr. Styczynski, Dr. Bhamla, Ms. Zhang and Ms. McNerney have assisted Lambert iGEM throughout their project by acting as mentors. They have helped the team troubleshoot and revise its project, constantly providing advice to improve it. In addition, they have generously provided materials that a high school team would not have access to. We would like to thank them for helping us complete our project.

Parts
  • Sequences and initial DNA from Styczynski Lab at Georgia Tech
  • Snapgene- software for sequence analysis
  • IDT-Generous DNA synthesis


Model
  • The AI Day One Challenge, coordinated by Mr. Scott Henderson through Sandbox ATL, also allowing Lambert iGEM to meet with the following;
  • Mr. Luigi Ray-Montanez
  • Mr. Jackson Morgan
  • Mr. TJ Muehlemen
  • Mr. Shane Matthews
  • Mr. Michael Koohang
  • Mr. Chris Waites
  • Mrs. Alexa Morse
  • Mr. Greg Torre
  • Mr. Daniel Youmans
  • Mrs. Winne Luo
  • Special thanks to Tanishk Sinha (a student at Lambert High School) for his contributions and assistance to the model.
