Attributions
Our team consisted of 1 biologist, 2 biochemists, 1 natural scientist, 1 computer scientist, 2 mathematicians and 3 physicists. Therefore our interdisciplinary team combines different knowledge and skills of our members.
We had a week of 'bootcamp' training in the Easter holidays where individuals were taught the basics of lab work and concepts we could employ in our project.
Our project idea was decided during within the first few weeks of July after a lot of brainstorming and discussions with academics.
Unless otherwise stated, all the content documented on our Wiki was done by us.
