Collaboration between teams is crucial for the health of a project. As each team has a variety of skills and collaboration is the best way to exchange experiences and to improve projects.

Evry Paris-Saclay team

We met the Evry Paris-Saclay team at Paris during the 3rd Parisian meetup. Evry Paris-Saclay team project is focusing on the production of D-Psicose, which might be helpful for diabetic patients. Unlike us, their team had knowledge about legislation and market study that none of us had. On the other hand, our team has skills in biochemistry, structural biology and in enzymology.

We started our collaboration after few skype conferences ! Therefore, we offered them our help to study the enzyme responsible of the conversion of D-fructose and D-psicose, the D-Psicose-3-Epimerase (EC 5.3.1) [here] and members of Evry Paris-Saclay team offered us help with the regulatory framework of GMO research and the release in the market of our product. You can check out their research here.

We would like to thank Evry Paris-Saclay team for their marvelous work !

Collaboration with UNebraska-Lincoln

After talking with the The UNL iGEM Team, the entire AMU team responded to their questionnaire about inhibiting methane. we contacted them during the summer and proposed to respond to them to increase their numbers of answers for their statistics on this subject because this theme is still a sensitive topic in our country.

Project postal card exchange

Thank to the Cologne-Duesseldorf team we participated to the postal card exchange program. This was a great opportunity for us to share with other iGEM team our project and the iGEM experience. We also received a lot of postcard coming from other iGEM team, we were excited to read about their project and to learn more about their iGEM experience.

We would like to thank the Cologne-Duesseldorf team. We really look forward to meet all the team at the Giant Jamboree !
