Internal Collaborations

Queen's Biomedical Innovation Team (QBiT)

The Queen’s Biomedical Innovation Team is an undergraduate student-run, interdisciplinary design team that focuses on biomedical device design and innovation. This year QGEM has collaborated with QBiT in the production of a novel pacifier which is able to house our engineered protein construct while using a one-way valve system to prevent any backflow.

Queen's Reduced Gravity Experimental Design Team

The Queen’s Reduced Gravity Experimental Design Team is an undergraduate student-run team which will be participating in an upcoming flight mission in collaboration with the National Research Council, Canadian Space Agency, and Students for the Exploration and Development of Space in July. QRGX are winners of the Canadian Reduced Gravity Experiment Design Challenge (http://seds.ca/projects) and have been selected to conduct an experiment comparing DNA Polymerase I processivity and error rate in microgravity vs normal gravity. This year QGEM will be accompanying them on their flight mission and providing them with technical expertise and access to our laboratory equipment.
