<h3>Preparation and Beginning Dates</h3>
 +
<p>Our PI, Professor Kozminski, teaches an introductory Synthetic Biology course that all members of the team are required to take.  This class meets for three hours every week.  Basic synthetic biology concepts were introduced and literature was discussed.  Our final project consisted of us teaming up to identify a world issue and then find a synthetic biology solution.  We started this class in January when our spring semester began.

We began brainstorming for our project on May 23rd, and we began our lab work on May 24th.  We started the Interlab study on June 5th, and we started our project on June 12th.

<h5> Why is this page needed? </h5>
 
−
<p>The Attribution requirement helps the judges know what you did yourselves and what you had help with. We don't mind if you get help with difficult or complex techniques, but you must report what work your team did and what work was done by others.</p>
 
−
<p>
 
−
For example, you might choose to work with an animal model during your project. Working with animals requires getting a license and applying far in advance to conduct certain experiments in many countries. This is difficult to achieve during the course of a summer, but much easier if you can work with a postdoc or PI who has the right licenses.</p>

Ms. Christopher was incredible guide for our team as we traversed us through our team's summer WetLab adventure. From helping us set up our lab and summer and fall experimentation to providing us with insight as the team was conducting procedures, Ms. Christopher's contributions to our team were incredibly useful to the success of our team over the summer and fall.

The people mentioned here aided us in the design and execution of our project. The lab work, modeling, human practices work, and web design was completed by members of Virginia iGEM 2017.
