INTEGRATED HUMAN PRACTICES

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

To get a better idea of how can we improve and move ahead with our project,we first set out to talk to some of the researchers and professors of various departments, both inside our institute and outside. Following is a summary of the talk that we had :


He is a Professor at our institute and does research in control Theory.Just when we had started Brainstorming for our Project,we reached out to him and talked to him about square wave oscillator that we were planning to make.It was him who suggested us about the idea of using an oscillator feeding into a toggle switch in order to generate Square Waves.He further also talked to us about the work Dr.Richard M Murray had done in this field oscillators with ring topologies. He also told us about trying out the relaxation oscillators in order to generate a better Square wave.



He is a Professor at the School of Biological Sciences,Delhi.His research is mainly focussed in the field of Systems Biology.Once we had decided on the topology for our project.we discussed with him at length about our project and also got a lot of help from him in our Square wave Modelling.However,he wasn’t much impressed by our topology and rather suggested to us about the use of Build up and fire kind of oscillator for a better generation of Square Waves.



He is a molecular Biologist at the Department of Biological Sciences,IIT Delhi. Our talk with him was truly very helpful for us in the execution of our project. It was him who suggested us about the Streptomyces griseus (Orf2) whose biosafety facilities were available at our lab.



A PhD student, Mr. Mahendra Sahare, doing a humanities project under a Supreme Court lawyer, Dr. Naveen Thayyil, has been in collaboration with iGEM IIT Delhi for the past two years. Together, we have worked on the aspect of ‘Ethical Scientific Practices’. Also, on his recent visit to IISER Mohali, he came back with a collaborative offer for iGEM IIT Delhi to mentor IISER Mohali and help in the establishment of iGEM club there. On our return from the Giant Jamboree 2016, our team members gave a presentation scheduled there, and thereafter our team mentored the iGEM Mohali team.




We also talked to many researchers pursuing their Ph.D here in IIT Delhi,to get to know about various possible uses of Biological Oscillators,before we started our project. Here are the their views on how Biological Oscillators can be used further.


He is researcher in the field of System biology/oscillators.In our talk with him,he told us that Biological Oscillators can be used as a clock reference analogous to electrical engineering for signal processing,as a bridge between network of them.synchronisation and as a modem “MODEM” carrying Information .



He is a researcher in synchronisation non linear linear oscillators.According to him,Biological Oscillators can be used in the Field of repressilator or vanderpol oscillator and in the field of cancer cells.



He does Research in field of convergent systems.He told us about how Biological oscillators can be linked up to his field of research.According to him,If the oscillator is tuned to be convergent,then many interesting phenomenon like time-scale,synchronisation can be analysed better.
