Collaborations
Canadian iGEM Newsletter
This year, the iGEM Calgary 2017 Team set a goal to achieve increased collaborativity of teams in countries throughout the world, starting with Canada. During our journey, we have reached out to many organizations as a part of our public outreach. For more details, please visit our Engagement and Education pages. To help promote communication between teams, we pioneered the first Canadian iGEM Newsletter. The main purpose of this project is to foster an avenue through which teams can share their project updates and seek collaborative assistance. Because this newsletter can be distributed by all participating teams, universities and public communities across Canada can be engaged. Additionally, we can also increase public awareness of iGEM, as well as genetic engineering in general.

Wet-Lab Collaboration
Through the connections we made in the process of publishing the Canadian iGEM Newsletter, we were able to connect with the iGEM McMasterU team. One of their team members, Dhanyasri Maddiboina, had an internship in Calgary during the summer. Some members of our team was able to meet her and, together, we were able to bring a potential collaboration between the two collegiate teams to fruition. This year, the iGEM McMasterU team is working on a project called Glowzyme. They designed a fluorogenic DNAzyme that cleaves RNA and detects pathogens.
