<h5> Why is this page needed? </h5>
+
        </li>
−
<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>

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>

Attributions & Acknowledgements

Our team came together 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 during 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!

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 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, somehow managed to like every single one of our social media posts and took awesome team profile pictures!

  • Christoph Stelzer

    Christoph provided us with 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 was our specialist in computational biology and helped to define the strategy for our models. She was always around to discuss results and optimize the procedure.

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.

    • ... and thanks to the advisors for arranging the delicious 3-course dinner on the night of Wiki Freeze.

Supervisors

In addition to providing a dedicated iGEM laboratory at 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.

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:

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, sending out our parts and printing our poster.

Outreach

  • Student Project House

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

  • iGEM TU Delft Team

    For hosting us at the amazing European iGEM Meetup where we had the opportunity connect with fellow iGEMers, organize collaborations, listen to interesting talks from experts and enjoy beautiful Delft and Amsterdam.
