Notebook

I know what you did last summer! KU Leuven iGEM Team 2017 has gone through some ups and downs, but that didn't stop them from being creative and to explore the world of science. Other than that, a lot of fun activities were planned. To know more about their adventure, feel free to go down the memory lane with us.

  • 21 - 27 of Feb

    First Meeting

    This is the meeting where the team spirit was established and missing pieces of our adventure to success were collected. For example, who is going to be our PI? How do we get sponsors? Who will be our leader to guide us all the way through to the end of the project? Every team member was assigned a subcategory, which they will complete with passion and dedication. A very subtle move towards possible project ideas was made during this meeting.

  • 27 of Feb - 7 of Mar

    Project Ideas

    This week, we discussed the many proposals about project ideas along with some professors. There were some remarkable ideas on the table: Development of an ecosystem in a space station, DNA fitting to predict an individual’s health, weight and nutrition, introduction of a filter over intestinal villus for better uptake of Gluten in Coeliac patients, and more. We also completed our team registration and team leaders were chosen for the subcategories. Nothing could stop us from entering this!

  • 7 - 13 of Mar

    Brainstorming

    The voting deadline for project ideas was nearing. In the meeting, a lot brainstorming happened and a lot of new ideas were added to the list. The layout for a sponsor brochure was also created. We reminisced about our childhood and our first contact with science for inspiration for how we might educate the local children. During the meeting, one of the students who is an avid traveler booked flight tickets. Boston, HERE WE COME!

  • 14 - 21 of Mar

    A visit from two familiar figures

    This week, we had a very special meeting. Two ex-iGEM members came over and given us advice about their struggles and experiences in their iGEM team last year. A lot of stories were shared and the trust of KU Leuven was handed over to the current iGEM team as every member got an account and joined the KU_Leuven team on igem.org. There is also a rumor going around, which tells us that six professors are going to visit us within two weeks!

  • 21 - 27 of Mar

    Sponsor Brochure

    The first activity of the iGEM Team 2017 was planned, which is having dinner together in the following week. An electrophysiology professor came to visit the KUL iGEM Team, which is a great honor. A lot of ideas were exchanged and it gave us a better insight into our potential project. The requirements for multiple projects are being checked and the final touches to the sponsor brochure was done. Sponsors were reaching out to the KUL iGEM Team and mutually beneficial agreements have been made.

  • 28 Mar - 17 Apr

    3 Projects and 3 Teams

    This week, which is also the last week before spring break, the team was divided into three groups, each working on a potential project. Multiple methods and perspectives were discussed, pushing our creativity to the limit. We planned two meetings with potential sponsors which wrapped up the first part of preparations before spring break hit in.

  • 18 Apr

    Arrival of the DNA kit

    some text While it is still half a year apart from the Giant Jamboree, the team was already been looking for accommodations in Boston. Visas were applied for, rooms were booked and our summer schedule slowly materialized much like the sunshine in Belgium. As our final chosen project slowly got its shape, students explored their inner creativity and set up a potential draft for their logo. Our DNA distribution kit from iGEM has arrived and we were so excited!

  • 29 Apr

    iGEM goes VIB

    The KULeuven iGEM Team 2017 got the opportunity to spread a word about iGEM on the VIB conference with over 700 attendees! Two courageous teammates did a presentation and it was a nerve-wracking day for them. The KULeuven Team was there to support them and they nailed it! Congratulations and thank you to Pieter-Jan and Jana!

  • 10 - 26 of June

    iGEM vs Exams

    Despite the fact that the students are in the midst of the exams, impromptu meetings were planned to iron out the last details about the project. We set the summer schedule and chose a logo. We even squeezed in some fascinating scientific articles during our exam study breaks.
