It’s better home made to learn
This year, IGEM Bordeaux restart again with C.elegans for new adventures and a new team composed by 17 students. We worked together through the year to realize our project and everyone contributed by doing specific works. We divided the group in three. One for the scientific part and laboratory experiments, a second for the informatic part of our project and a last for all sides.
The laboratory
First, we want to thank the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology for hosting us all the year for our interships and meetings.
We would like to thank the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology (IECB) for
hosting us and supporting us all the year for our interships and meetings.
In this Institute, many professionals used to advise us during our internships and to lend us
machines to work on our project. Thank you to:
- Florian Bernard, Phd student in Denis Dupuy’s team, for all his advises and all the time he took to explain us how to operate in a laboratory. We would like to add special thanks for his good mood and jokes.
- Axel Innis's group, for lending us their NanoDrop instrument.
- Lionel Beaurepaire and Myriam Mederic, from the IECB's technology platform in preparative and analytical techniques. They gave us encouragements all along the internships and lend us their thermocycler.
- Natacha Perebaskine from Axel Innis’ group,for telling us how to behave in the lab and in the institute in case of accident and for all the safety information she gave us.
- Esther MARZA, lecturer in the University of Bordeaux and member of Rémi Fronzes team, for allowing us to take part in the « Fête de la Science » workshops in order to make children discover a little bit of science.
