            From August 26th to 29th, our team held the <strong> 4<sup>th</sup> Conference of the China iGEMer Community (CCiC)</strong> as
 +
            the co-organizer in FAFU. Our instructors, Lou Chunbo and Zhang Haoqian both gave talks during the opening
 +
            ceremony. They shared their iGEM experiences, raised some problems faced by iGEM and synthetic biology, and
 +
            encouraged us to work more and try to deal with them. Two members of our team attended the conference and
 +
            performed well in the presentation and poster section. Additionally, our members gave a special talk about
 +
            the <a href="http://www.synbiowiki.com"

            Through the four-day communication with other teams, we got a lot of excellent suggestions about our project

Peking iGEM 2017

Collaborations


Co-oraganize CCiC

From August 26th to 29th, our team held the 4th Conference of the China iGEMer Community (CCiC) as the co-organizer in FAFU. Our instructors, Lou Chunbo and Zhang Haoqian both gave talks during the opening ceremony. They shared their iGEM experiences, raised some problems faced by iGEM and synthetic biology, and encouraged us to work more and try to deal with them. Two members of our team attended the conference and performed well in the presentation and poster section. Additionally, our members gave a special talk about the Synbio Wiki (know more in Human Practice session) initiated this year by our team, which received a great response. Through the four-day communication with other teams, we got a lot of excellent suggestions about our project and SynbioWiki, and gave some help to them, too.

Peking iGEM as co-organizer of the 4th CCiC

Interact With Undergraduate Teams

As the host, our team communicated with quite a lot of undergraduate teams from China during the competition.
  1. In June, our team instructor visited and communicated with SCAU, SYSU, SCUT, TJU and TUST. During the meeting, we exchanged our project ideas with them, and as one of the first iGEM teams in China, Peking iGEM is also taking on a responsibility to help and guide other young contestants.

    2. Communicating with SCAU Team

    Visiting SYSU iGEM 2017 Team

    Academic exchange with Team TJU

    Interacting with Team TUST

  2. During the summer vacation, our team held symposiums with OUC-China and HZAU respectively, and had lively discussions about our project, experiments and team management. We helped the HZAU team to contact Dr. Luo Chunxiong to help them get support in microfluidics. With OUC-China we keep a long-term communication and have had several discussions, which benefited both of us a lot.

    3. Symposium with OUC-China

    Symposium with HZAU

  3. On 6th August, our team leader had a face-to-face conversation with a member from XMU and talked quite a lot about the foundation, organization and management of an iGEM team, in which we both gave some valuable advice to each other.

    4. Discussion with XMU

  4. In June, our instructor presented the Peking iGEM at the Asian Leader Workshop held by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He had deep discussions with a number of other Asian teams there.

Mentor High School Teams

This year, we mentored a high-school team, BNDS China, from July to October. We offered them not only guidance in fundamental molecular laboratory operations, but also experimental materials such as the expression vector for Repressor Generator, and corresponding primers, as well as all enzymes and laboratory equipment.

Additionally, we had several face-to-face discussions with other high-school teams, such as RDFZ-China, SDSZ, and HFLS_H2Z_Hangzhou, helping them to design their projects.

Helping Team HFLS_H2Z_Hangzhou with their obstacles

Offer Material Help

During the 4th CCiC, we found out that SCU-China is also using a repressilator in their project. We therefore started in-depth communication from then on. As they faced some difficulties in knocking out the clpXP operon of E. coli, we offered them the E. coli DHL708 ΔclpXP strain, which was a kind gift from Jahan Paulsson. SCU-China also gave us some valuable suggestions and help in testing the mutant strains.
