<p>Our interdisciplinary team was gathered in April 2017. We first went through a period of extensive research and brainstorming, determined to find a novel solution to a real-world issue. Once we settled on our project in June, we focused on preparing a detailed plan of the work for the summer. We designed our parts, circuits and experiments, distributed tasks, managed our team and our lab. Since July, we have been spending long hours in the lab, trying to get CATE ready for the Jamboree. All of this would have never been possible without the tremendous support and guidance of our advisors, supervisors and experts. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to the completion and success of CATE! </p>

Attributions & Acknowledgements


Advisors

Our advisors gave feedback to our experiment designs, identified bugs in our codes and were always there to answer any questions we had – even during their vacation! They checked in regularly to make sure we were on track and reassured us when something was not working in the expected way. Daniel and Claude were part of the 2014 iGEM team of ETH Zürich, which is why they were not surprised about our many moments of despair.

  • Daniel Gerngross

    Daniel helped us with the initial setup of the lab, double-checked our experimental designs and introduced us to the Ligase Cycling Reaction (LCR) technique. He helped us out with the plate reader experiments and managed to like every single one of our social media posts.

  • Christoph Stelzer

    Christoph provided us mammalian cell lines and a lot of advice in experiment design. He was always ready to run over to our lab in case we needed something.

  • Claude Lormeau

    Claude was the specialist in computational biology and helped to define the strategy for our models. She was always around to discuss results and optimize the procedure. With her extensive experience she contributed to the successful implementation of the models and connecting the outcomes to the experimental work. She also wisely kept telling us start working on the Wiki as soon as possible, yet we still managed to put it off until last minute. Sorry, Claude.

Supervisors

In addition to providing a dedicated iGEM Laboratory in the facility of the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering in Basel, the professors helped us with general decisions by asking critical questions and pointing out difficulties. During our weekly meetings, they kept the overview of our project and supported us in choosing a direction for the project. With their knowledge, they drew our attention to future issues that might appear, so that we could prevent them or adapt early to difficult situations.

  • Prof. Dr. Sven Panke

    experiments design, scientific data presentation, advice for project goals and approaches

  • Prof. Dr. Jörg Stelling

    modelling

  • Prof. Dr. Yaakov Benenson

    workflow design and models

Experts

Along our journey, we were met with tremendous support beyond our lab. We had the great opportunity to meet several amazing people who were more than happy to share their knowledge, skills and equipment with us. We'd like to thank:

  • Dr. Christian Britschgi

    For sharing his experience and extensive knowledge on traditional and experimental cancer treatments.

  • Prof. Dr. Ana Borovecki

    For giving us valuable insights from a perspective of a clinical pharmacologist and toxicologist and an expert in medical ethics. Also for getting us in contact with other experts in bioethics.

  • Dr. Simon Ittig

    For the inspiring interview and insights to startup reality of bacterial cancer therapy.

  • Prof. Dr. Darko Polsek

    For using his expertise to put our project in the context of bioethics and point out ethical issues and controversies we might face as we develop our project.

  • Dr. Sacha Rothschild

    For sharing his opinion on our project and helping us realize the advantages but also potential problems of our design.

  • Prof. Dr. Markus Rudin, Dr. Aileen Schröter and Dr. Mark-Aurel Augath

    For all the advice about magnetic resonance imaging and for organizing our MRI experiments at the Institute of Biomedical Imaging at ETH Zürich. To Dr. Augath especially, for his patience and will to help us during all those long hours needed to make our experiments work.

  • Beat Werner

    For sharing his expertise on focused ultrasound and for setting us in contact with Prof. Dr. Rudin which made our MRI experiments possible.

Lab, Technique and general Support

  • Benenson and Panke Lab

    Thank you for lending us your LB when we ran out of it or ours got contaminated, allowing us to use your equipment and letting us bother you in general!

  • Irene Wüthrich

    Irene advised us on the use of protein E and provided us the gene and its sequence for further amplifications and cloning experiments.

  • Margaux Dastor

    Margaux shared her extensive knowledge about mammalian cell cultures with us and helped us with the cell handling when in doubt.


  • BSSE Shop

    Thank you for assisting us with our purchases!

Outreach

  • Student Project House

    • For having us at the ETH Zurich Student Idea Pitch and the inspiring comments and questions.
