This is our first time in iGEM and the past couple of months has been nothing short of hectic.
Scroll down to read our timeline - a journey of nights that turned into days with lab partners that turned into family.

|---|---|
| event 15 | lightbulb_outline Finalized team |
| event 15 | lightbulb_outline Created a group on WhatsApp. After a lot of reading, we got an idea, something about Lactoferrin. |
| event15-20 | lightbulb_outline Reading reading Zzzz |
| event 20 | lightbulb_outline Team met to understand the registration process. |
| event 21 | lightbulb_outline Had a discussion and concluded that Lf is too big a protein to work with in this short time span. Dropped it. |
| event 22 | lightbulb_outline Back to square one. No project idea. Split ourselves into 3 groups, each focusing on a different problem statement. |
