Attributions

This page is your opportunity to explain what parts of your project you did and what was done by technicians, advisers, etc. This requirement is not about literature references - these can and should be displayed throughout your wiki.

We want to thank all the people who helped us with our project. Ranging from our main supervisors to the people we interviewed, your help is greatly appreciated.

Our supervisor professor Eivind Almaas, who set up our team and guided us throughout the project.


Nikolai Martyushenko for showing us how to perform different lab procedures. Although always late to every meeting, he helped us a great deal with our labwork.


Astrid Bjørkøy for introducing us to confocal fluorescence microscopy. We appreciate getting a chance to use this equipment for our biobrick characterisation.


Marieke Olsman for introducing us to flow cytometry. Together with confocal fluorescence microscopy, this allowed us to characterize our biobrick in a novel way.


Hanne Jørgensen for taking us on a lab safety tour and helping us find our way around the lab.


Marthe Lind Kroknes for taking the time to enlighten us on biofilm-assosiated problems in the fields of prostheses surgery and diagnostics.


Rafael Himmelsbach for sharing his insight regarding the Human Practices part of our project.


Kåre Bergh for providing advice regarding our lab protocol.


Sven Even Borgos for introducing us to Bactiter-Glo Assay which we used for cell count in combination with Crystal Violet Assay.


Our sponsors for supporting us and giving us an opportunity to perform our project. Your support is greatly appreciated.


Our social media followers for taking an interest in our project and spreading the message around the world.



Roles


We strived to include everyone of our team members in the different parts of our project. Everyone contributed in our lab work, human practices, searching for sponsors and filling out our wiki page. Tor Strømsen Haugland handled the modelling work and designed our wiki with Anja Rosvold From.

Bronze Medal Criterion #3

All of the work done in your project must be attributed correctly on this page. You must clearly state the work that was done by the students on your team and note any work that was done by people outside of your team, including the host labs, advisors, instructors, and individuals not on the team roster.

Please see the Medals requirements page for more details.

What should this page contain?

  • Clearly state what the team accomplished
  • General Support
  • Project support and advice
  • Fundraising help and advice
  • Lab support
  • Difficult technique support
  • Project advisor support
  • Wiki support
  • Presentation coaching
  • Human Practices support
  • Thanks and acknowledgements for all other people involved in helping make a successful iGEM team

Tell us if your institution teaches an iGEM or synthetic biology class and when you started your project:

  • Does your institution teach an iGEM or synthetic biology course?
  • When did you start this course?
  • Are the syllabus and course materials freely available online?
  • When did you start your brainstorming?
  • When did you start in the lab?
  • When did you start working on your project?

Why is this page needed?

The Attribution requirement helps the judges know what you did yourselves and what you had help with. We don't mind if you get help with difficult or complex techniques, but you must report what work your team did and what work was done by others.

For example, you might choose to work with an animal model during your project. Working with animals requires getting a license and applying far in advance to conduct certain experiments in many countries. This is difficult to achieve during the course of a summer, but much easier if you can work with a postdoc or PI who has the right licenses.

Can we base our project on a previous one?

Yes! You can have a project based on a previous team, or based on someone else's idea, as long as you state this fact very clearly and give credit for the original project.
