Collaborations


Northwestern

One of the first teams we reached out to was Northwestern. We exchanged project information and provided each other with initial feedback. This acted as our first step toward collaboration with teams!


Imperial London

For our team, the Wiki has proved the most challenging aspect of the required iGEM components due to our lack of coding experience. Fortunately for us, London's Imperial Team came to the rescue! The Brits guided us on various Wiki components and even offered their old website code for us to dissect and examine in order to implement on our website. We're extremely grateful and hope to meet them in Boston to express our thanks!


London School of Boys

The London School of Boys' iGEM Team was also very beneficial in Wiki help. Adam Jones assisted Annie with many questions regarding the Wiki and went above and beyond to help us with coding.


Singapore

Wilbert from the Singapore University team was extremely helpful, assisting us with any number of iGEM components and technicalities. He enthusiastically gave us pointers about the Jamboree as well as the iGEM “Do’s and Don’ts”. Because this is our first year participating in the iGEM competition, Wilbert meticulously explained some of the more obscure steps to achieve medal criteria. Most importantly, Wilbert graciously helped us with the Modelling component of our project involving the substitution of various Ribosomal Binding Sites. We can't wait to meet him in November!


US Army/US Marine

Our team held a long Skype discussion concerning the iGem process and goals, as well as the Interlab, Wiki details, and activities at the Jamboree with the teams from the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marines. The US Navy team advised us to complete the Interlab carefully and to use the already provided Excel spreadsheet. On our side, guided the US Army team with troubleshooting their project. After the video conference, we were able to finish the Interlab swiftly with few hiccups.


Michigan State Meet-up

We attended the mini-Jamboree/meet-up on July 29th at Michigan State University. It was an awesome experience with several teams from across the Midwest meeting up and discussing our projects and progress.. Our team gave a short presentation and received feedback and criticism as well as praise concerning our work. It was fascinating to learn about the research and progress of the other iGEM groups! After the presentations, we talked with members from the other teams about everything iGEM! We even spoke with an iGEM veteran who gave us extremely insightful advice on the inner workings of the Jamboree.
