By collaborating with the University of Georgia’s iGEM team, Lambert iGEM was able to perform a series of detailed protocols involving the use of a plate reader to ensure accuracy within the fluorescence data. This allowed both teams to compare their data and openly discuss any unusual results that could have caused issues in the data analysis and interpretation. We were able to pinpoint specific errors and backtrack to improve upon our technique demonstrating interlaboratory studies to create a similar, comparable method of GFP measurement.

Collaborations


Gibson Ridge Software




Mr. Gibson meeting with our hardware committee.
Mr. Gibson, the CEO and Founder of Gibson Ridge Software worked with the Lambert High School iGEM team, specifically with the Hardware/Software committee to provide advice and give feedback on the Chrome-Q. He gave feedback on each iteration of the design and electronic circuit. He also gave direction and feedback for developing the software.





University of Georgia




Gaurav working with the plate reader at UGA.
By collaborating with the University of Georgia’s iGEM team, Lambert iGEM was able to perform a series of detailed protocols involving the use of a plate reader to ensure accuracy within the fluorescence data. This allowed both teams to compare their data and openly discuss any unusual results that could have caused issues in the data analysis and interpretation. Specific errors were discovered and both teams were able to improve upon the technique demonstrating interlaboratory studies to create a similar, comparable method of GFP measurement.






TAS Taipei




Lambert iGEM team in a conference call with TAS Taipei
Lambert iGEM sent Chrome-Q design files to TAS Taipei early in the design process. A video conference call was held and subsequent communications took place to offer help and receive feedback. Specifically TAS Taipei gave Lambert some tips on integrating human practices. Lambert was able to share information about working in underfunded labs.




Emory iGEM Team: Ethics Collaboration




Lambert iGEM team with the Emory iGEM team
The Lambert iGEM team was able to collaborate with the Emory iGEM team to openly discuss the ethics about Crispr Cas9 along with a class of other Emory students and professors. Through this discussion, they were able to gain knowledge about the different perspectives of genetic modification and to what extent people are willing to justify as ethical. Also, the Emory iGEM team was able to give us a tour of their labs to demonstrate their daily lab workings allowing both teams to grasp the overall purpose of each other’s projects. Lambert used this ethics conference as a springboard for their own




Lambert High School: Engineering and MSA



In order to make our Chrome-Q, we collaborated with the engineering department at our school. A student, Sahil Jain, printed the early prototypes of the Chrome-Q. The engineering department allowed us to use their 3-D printer, and print our current prototype. In addition, they were also able to print out wheels for PaperfugeⒸ. We also collaborated with MSA, Lambert's very own Medical Science Academy, who helped us with events and volunteered for set-up and clean-up for our outreach.





iGEM Twitter Group



Thanks to Twitter, iGEM teams from all over the world are in a group chat where we can easily communicate and ask questions about iGEM, Jamboree, wiki, and much more! iGEM teams have easy access to other teams and can ask questions about their projects, send out surveys, or promote their apps/programs through this platform. A great and fun way to collaborate!
