ATTRIBUTIONS

• Mentors





• Professionals





• Others

The Baltimore BioCrew team selected our project ourselves, designed experiments with advice from our mentors, and carried out all of the lab work. We also reached out to professionals through email and set up meetings and Skype sessions. We directly interacted with the SoundBio iGEM team to set up our collaboration and we participated in all of the outreach activities that were part of our public engagement and human practices. We would like to thank all of those who have assisted us throughout the project, not only for making it possible but also for making the last six months a valuable and unforgettable experience.

Special thanks and attributions go to:

Mentors

• Dr. Lisa Scheifele, Executive Director of Baltimore Underground Science Space (BUGSS), assisted us in overall management of the team, funding, as well as offering us advice on lab experiments.



• Wangui Mbuguiro, mentor of Math Modeling, offered us guidance in learning math modeling and preparing for presentations.


Kalen Clifton, mentor of Wetlab 1 and Design, assisted us in lab experiments and designing our visual representations.

Dr. Nina Rajpurohit, mentor of Wetlab 2, assisted us in designing our constructs and lab experiments.
