Collaboration is a powerful driver of progress in science. To stand on the shoulders of giants is increasingly unrealistic in a globalised world where scientists work in ever more specialised areas and without geographic or language barriers.

For science to continue to benefit from globalisation, we must advance the axiom and seek to build a human pyramid from the shoulders before and around us. Collaboration and open source data are at the heart of iGEM and so too the heart of Incell.

Below we describe our most significant collaborations within the iGEM community. The symbiosis we strive for in our project has shone brightly through the partnerships established with teams around the world. Our story — and the stories of our friends — have been mutually shaped by the diversity of our shared experiences, knowledge and perspectives.

Introduction

We participated in InterLitab, as we want to be contribute to the scientific progress made through this globe spanning project. In InterLab, 6 test devices are inserted in E.coli D5 α, and the growth and fluorescence is measured.

We used the following plasmids provided by iGEM HQ to transform E.coli:

  • Positive control
  • Negative control
  • Test Device 1: J23101+I13504
  • Test Device 2: J23106+I13504
  • Test Device 3: J23117+I13504
  • Test Device 4: J23101.BCD2.E0040.B0015
  • Test Device 5: J23106.BCD2.E0040.B0015
  • Test Device 6: J23117.BCD2.E0040.B0015
