Introduction

We want to thank all our sponsors for contributing either financially or with products necessary for going through with our project and attend the Jamboree. Without your financial help we would not have come so far we have today!

On this page you can read about the sponsors and how they have helped us. If you want to know more about them you can click on their respective logo to visit their websites.

Companies

Agilent Technologies

Agilent Technologies Inc. is the world's premier measurement company and a technology leader in chemical analysis, life sciences, diagnostics, electronics and communications. The company's 20,000 employees serve customers in more than 100 countries. They have provided us with a SureVector Core Kit #G7514A.

ATUM

ATUM is the leading bioengineering solutions provider. Founded in 2003, ATUM (formerly DNA2.0®) offers an integrated pipeline of solutions for the research community, including platforms for protein and vector engineering, products such as expression vectors, fluorescent and chromogenic proteins, cell strains and reagents, as well as gene design, optimization, synthesis and cloning. They have provided us with value of gene synthesis for 1500 $.

Eurofins

With EUR 2.54 billion in annual revenues and over 30,000 employees in around 375 sites in 41 countries, Eurofins Scientific is a leading international group of laboratories providing a unique range of analytical testing services to the pharmaceutical, food, environmental and consumer products industries and to governments. They have provided us with discount on sequencing and primers.

Genscript

GenScript is the leading gene, peptide, protein and antibody research partner for fundamental life science research, translational biomedical research, and early stage pharmaceutical development. During their tenure, they have built the best-in-class capacity and capability for biological research services encompassing gene synthesis and molecular biology, peptide synthesis, custom antibodies, protein expression, antibody and protein engineering, and in vitro and in vivo pharmacology – all with the goal to Make Research Easy. By winning a bronze GenScript Bronze-level scholarship we received 500 $ as a stipend to spend on their products.

IDT

IDT is a leader in development and manufacturing of products for research and diagnostic life science markets. The world’s largest supplier of custom nucleic acids, IDT serves academic research, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical development communities with products that support applications including: next generation sequencing (NGS), gene amplification, SNP detection, expression profiling, gene quantification, and synthetic biology. We received free DNA synthesis (both genes and primers) up to a value equivalent to 20 kb gBlocks.

GATC-Biotech

GATC-Biotech has its roots deep within the field of Sanger sequencing. Founded in 1990, the company commercialised the first nonradioactive sequencing technology platform. We received 50 barcodes for sequencing free SUPREMERUN DNA sequencing of our constructs. This has helped us a lot in the control of our systems and we are ever so thankful for their help.

NEB: New England Biolabs

NEB is a leader in the discovery and development of molecular biology reagents. Restriction enzymes and others. They provided us with a mastermix for fusion assembly.

SnapGene

SnapGene is the first molecular biology software that is easier to use than pen and paper. Now every DNA construct made in your lab can be documented in a rich electronic format… and thanks to the free SnapGene Viewer, the files can be shared with colleagues around the world. They provided us with free licences to use their software.

Schools and Institutions

Chalmers

The foundation at Chalmers that gives financial support to student driven projects at the university. We are extremely grateful that they decided to help our team.

Sysbio

Provided us with lab space, equipment, material and all the chemicals and biomaterials used during our efforts, as well as also financially funding our team in order to send us to the Jamboree in Boston. We are all very thankful for everything you have done for us!

Others

Swish

Thank you to everyone who have financially helped us with the project through Swish. Every SEK counts!
