Collaborations
Here are the list of our collaborators
Team up for the world!
Sharing with IONIS Paris
IONIS Paris gave us an insight into their project, fundraising technique, and human practice. We conducted a Skype call on 10th July 2017 in our beloved genetic labs. Discussion started with an introduction from both teams. They shared their project idea which mainly concerns on temperature changes cell detector. Further, they applied the project on Meteorology Centre and farming by forming a collaboration. We shared our project idea as well and also expressed our concern on fundraising. Our team received a valuable advice to search a sponsor. In the end, the discussion closed with a photo session and a social media account exchange to keep us stay in touch. Moreover, they asked us to participate on their survey.

GMM Legislation Document
Click Here!iGEM event has provided us a competition as well as collaboration. As a synthetic biology enthusiast, we have a responsibility to make our work safe and comply the law and regulation. Therefore, we participated in a collaboration with 137 iGEMers from 10 teams, 10 countries, 7 different iGEM tracks, and 5 continents to compile a worldwide GMM legislation document. Our role was to provide an Indonesian GMM regulation based on Peraturan Pemerintah No. 21 Tahun 2015. This is most probably one of the biggest collaborations in iGEM!
The compilation of GMM legislation is very useful in a lot of different ways for practitioners of synthetic biology and other related fields. Many information can be inferred from our collaboration result that will be able to help many parties.
Our take on the compilation of GMM regulations is that the use of GMOs especially as a bioremediation tool directly applied to environment is still very strictly prohibited in most areas of the world. This led our project to develop new alternatives and safety measures modules to cope with the regulations so that our project can be of use in the near future.
Mini-Booklet Project
We are lucky to have a collaboration partner with a high experience in iGEM like Manchester Team. Therefore, we would like to learn something about tips and trick to compete in iGEM. We initiated a mini-booklet project which consists of basic tips and tricks when competing in iGEM. Our aim was to provide Indonesian future team with necessary tips and tricks from an experienced university. This goal resides with our iGEM Booklet Vol.1 vision, to inspire Indonesian future team. We plan to distribute this mini-booklet alongside the iGEM Booklet Vol.1.
