PCR First Aid Service

As we had several PCR problems ourselves in the beginning of our project, we asked our advisors for help and created a PCR troubleshooting protocol, which you can find on our protocol section. Because we considered it to be helpful for other teams as well, we decided to offer help for all other iGEM teams: our First Aid Service for PCR Problems. Happily we could help some teams overcoming their PCR problem.

Translation Center

Bringing science closer to the public is a major goal in iGEM. As communicating scientific content can be challenging because complex issues need to be unraveled to easy understandable terms, one step could be translating scientific texts into many languages. Following this idea, the iGEM Team KU Leuven started a translation center and asked all teams to participate. Each team uploaded its project description and translated other project descriptions into their mother tongue. This is a first step towards simplification and easier communication with the general public because one barrier, namely the language barrier, can be overcome with the translation center. We translated several project descriptions into German and could thereby hopefully contribute to a better communication between scientists and a broad public.

Postcards

Participating in the Postcard campaign of Duesseldorf-Cologne was a real success. Thanks to the inspiring and eye-catching designs of all postcards we started talks about synthetic biology, GMOs and other issues addressed by over 36 postcards we received.

No Science without Tolerance

Respect is an essential iGEM value and tolerance an important aspect of it. We were thus very happy to support the tolerance campaign by iGEM Team Technion (Israel). All our creativity was used to draw this lab-associated tolerance lettering and we can hopefully contribute to draw more attention to the fundamental value of tolerance in the scientific community and in public.

Surveys – Supporting Responsible and Efficient Technology Development within iGEM

Bostons Microfluidic Survey
The Boston University Hardware team worked with microfluidic chips and wanted to establish an archive with different designs and protocols. Their goal is to fit the archival structure to any needs of its users. To support this project, we filled in their survey and could thereby hopefully contribute to a well applied, sustainable design of their archive.

Beijing Institute of Technology: Survey according health care and liver cancer
iGEM Team BIT worked on a liver cancer related project and wanted to integrate the opinion of us iGEMers into the design of their project. We answered their survey and are looking forward to seeing their great ideas realized.

Biological Material Transport Survey from State University of Amazonas
Shipment of biological material often faces problems when cooling is required and long distances need to be conquered. This is particularly true for less developed countries and regions with no direct access to an (freight) airport. The Amazonas Brazil team wanted to collect information from all over the world to get a deeper insight into import and export regulation processes of countries around the world. We hope that we supported your collection of information by thoroughly answering your questionnaire.

Air pollution survey from iGEM Pasteur Paris
Environmental pollution and climate change are two of the major challenges we desperately need to solve towards our agreed goal of a sustainable human civilization on our planet. The iGEM Team Pasteur Paris focused on environmental issues and highlighted the problem of air pollution, which is particularly strong problem in quickly industrialized countries with low standards of waste air cleaning in fossil fuel power stations, industrial facilities and transportation vehicles. To receive an impression about the air pollution situation in different regions all over the world they created a comprehensive survey. We hope that we could convey an impression about the situation in Heidelberg, which fortunately is a rather small, bicycle-friendly city closely surrounded by five beautiful nature reserves. iGEM Team Heidelberg is also taking part in the iGEM goes green initiative by team TU Dresden.

Survey about methane production from UNebraska-Lincoln
The iGEM Team UNebraska-Lincoln aims at inhibiting the methane production in cattle and wanted to integrate the general public opinion into the design of their project. All members of iGEM team Heidelberg filled in their survey and we are looking forward to helping you gather information and maybe even contribute to decreasing the alarming speed of climate change.

Survey about cholera from iGEM Toulouse
In order to tackle the cholera disease, the iGEM Team Toulouse asked everyone to answering their questionnaire to receive an impression about the informational situation according to cholera disease. Hopefully we could contribute a little bit to succeeding with your project on eradicating Vibrio cholerae.

Genetic modification to produce medicines - Cardiff iGEM
To investigate the public´s view on genetic modification for pharmaceutical production the Cardiff iGEM Team created a survey. They aim at treating the Grave´s Disease, an autoimmune disease affecting the thyroid, with the help of genetically modified organisms. We filled in their questionnaire and hope that they succeed with realizing their innovative therapeutic approach.

GMO perception survey from Ionis Paris
To gain more information about GMO perception by the public the iGEM Team Ionis Paris conducted a survey we took part in. They aim at creating an interactive map to make the comprehensive information from their interesting questionnaire easily accessible. This map contains regimentations and opinions about GMOs and could provide novel insights into region-specific, public perception on the creation and use of GMOs.

CRISPR along the iGEM: survey from Amazonas Brazil
No doubt that CRISPR is a breakthrough technology that should be easily accessible by any (responsible) researcher around the globe. To establish a simple and standardized methodology for applying CRISPR the iGEM Team Amazonas Brazil created a survey to communicate with other iGEM teams and exchange information about problems when working with the CRISPR technology. We participated in this survey and are eager to see your solutions for an easier handling of this method come into play in iGEM.

Diagnosis device survey from iGEM Team Munich
The iGEM Team Munich collected opinions about diagnostic devices in a survey that was distributed to people with different professional backgrounds. In certain countries access to regular medical care is limited, either due to regional fluctuation in the density of hospitals, pharmacies and doctors or due to country-specific healthcare laws. This issue affects millions of people world-wide, both in developing as well as modern countries. iGEM Team Munich aims at developing diagnostic devices, that could be used at home and provide people with diagnosis and hence medical care that would otherwise have no access to.
