Overview

Our team is made up of 20 memebers including the two that had been retired. We are assigned to different kinds of work according to our interests and merits and each of us makes special contributions to our team.

Mixiao Gui , the leader of Shenzhen_SFLS team, is responsible for managing the team and instructing team members to design and implement the project. She is also in charge of contacting with professors and seniors for us, helping to find the lab and supervising the progress of all parts and tasks.

Suxuan Wang, the vice leader of Shenzhen_SFLS team, is responsible for managing the team and holding the public activity and investigation.

Our team

Our team is divided into four groups : the theoretical experimental group, the social research group, the modeling group and the website design group.

The Theoretical Experimental Group

This group includes :

Mixiao Gui， Yuheng Dai ，Yiting Xiang ，Yue Chen , Runqi Zhu ，Yingxuan Tan， Shuanghua Lai ，Lan Shen， Yuhao Wan and Jing Feng(retired).

These members are responsible for constructing the project theory and the experiments.

The Social Research Group

This group includes :

Suxuan Wang， Jingtong Huang， Qinni Zhang ，Ziqi Zheng， Xuelan Li  ，Fang Li and Yaduo Zhang (retired).

This group is responsible for the Human Practice with publicity, pulling sponsorship and so on. It is this group that presents us in front of the public!

Logo and Website Design

Zisang Yang is in charge of all the tasks of designing of the whole team. She did a lot of designing work including logo, PPT templates, badge and uniforms.

She also decorated our wiki, making our wiki more vivid and funny. She not only makes our program better presented in front of the public, but also better informs the public with sythetic biology’ s knowledge.

Modeling

Our modeling jobs are all in the charge of Xiaoyi Wang.

And in the early time, she also helped with the theoretical experimental group.

Wiki

Everyone in our team take part in the construction of our wiki. We aim to show more detailed information of our project, our team and our school. We also drew many drafts and came up with many beautiful ideas in order to create a lovely wiki for the team.

Training and Guidance

Professor Yaoting Gui, the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Shenzhen PKU-HKUST Medical Center, instructed us to build our theory system and offered support to our experiment.

Professor Fangting Zhang，the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Shenzhen PKU-HKUST Medical Center，helped us with the lab safety and course arrangement.

Mr. Xinbo Huang, a postgraduate student in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Shenzhen PKU-HKUST Medical Center, taught us experimental skills.

Mr. Chenngle Zhuang, a Ph.D student in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Shenzhen PKU-HKUST Medical Center Lab, gave suggestions to our experiment and helped us to contact with biotechnology companies.

Mr. Xiaomin Luo, a post-doctor fellow in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Shenzhen PKU-HKUST Medical Center, helped us with the part construction and TA cloning.

Mr. Minghua Li, a technologist in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Shenzhen PKU-HKUST Medical Center, conducted bio-safety trainings for us.

Ruibing Xu, Yiqiu Zhang and Chen Liang, previous members of Team SFLS, led us to the world of Synthetic Biology.

Jiahong Tang, the principal in SFLS, gave us an excellent chance to present our project.

Peilin Li and Zhongnan Yang, the teachers in SFLS, supported us in the management of our team.

Weijun Yang, our computer teacher, lent us the computer room as activity site.

Laboratory support

The lab that we used in this iGEM competition is owned by Shenzhen PKU-HKUST Medical Center. All the laboratory equipment and materials were purchased by Shenzhen PKU-HKUST Medical Center. Besides, the professors and workers in the lab always lent us a hand!
