・SATSUKI Festival

May 20 & 21, 2017
Team Kobe participated in SATSUKI (May) Festival at UT-Tokyo. This was the most exciting interaction with iGEM community during summer. We gave a poster presentation to other iGEM teams (Kyoto, Nagahama, Gifu, KAIT, Tokyo_Tech, Botchan Lab Tokyo, UT-Tokyo) and also listened to their presentation. We had a great time sharing project ideas and giving feedback each other. We made friends with many iGEMers. Thank you to all of them!

・Team Gifu

Since the Satsuki festival held in May, we've been keeping in touch with Team Gifu.

We, Team Kobe 2017, are the first iGEM team from Kobe University. During this summer, we were sometimes at a loss faced with many problems in experiments. However, every time we were, Team Gifu kindly helped us by offering troubleshooting tips for primer design, transformation...etc.

Team Kobe also helped them. As we were already successful in raising funds using crowdfunding at an early stage, we offered tips for successful crowdfunding to them.

On September 9th, we invited Ryo of Team Gifu to Kobe University. We talked over biosafety while looking at the "iGEM Safety illustration by Alejandra De La Fuente Menathe". We also discussed the possible biohazard risk that our chassis might cause and important safety rules we should follow in the lab.
At the end of the day, "pamphlet of tea-making"(by iGEM Team Kobe) was sent to Team Gifu as a token of our friendship. They are going to spread our work!
