Medal Criteria
Bronze
1.Registration and Giant Jamboree Attendance - DUT_China_B has registered for iGEM and will be sending 9 members to the Giant Jamboree in Boston in the upcoming weeks.
2.Competition Deliverables - We have completed our wiki, designed a poster and Powerpoint presentation, and filled out the Judging form as well.
3.Attributions - We have thoroughly and properly attributed everything that was done by our team and what was done by others. See our attributions page.
4.Project Inspiration and Description - We have given a concise yet comprehensive description of our project, and showed what inspired our design. Check our description and inspiration.
5.Characterization - Standard Tracks - We have successfully finished characterization of three parts: Part BBa_K2516003, Part BBa_J52008 , and Part BBa_K1159103，and uploaded the experiment data to the corresponding parts page.
Silver
1.Validated Part - We have validated Part BBa_K3061001, Part BBa_K3061002, and Part BBa_K3061008. Please check our experiment page for more in depth work.
2.Collaboration - We have conducted a video conference with Northeast Forestry University(NEFU) to exchange our project ideas and designs online, which not only benefit our project but also promoted theirs. We also participated in the Conference of China iGEMer Community held in Shenzhen in August this year, during which we exchanged idea with other teams and most importantly, we were able to communicate with Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, the team that we had collaborated in depth. What’s more, the collaboration with CU-iGEM team provided us with a novel game that we used in our human practices, which we provided feedback. We also helped team IIT-Madras to translate their video in Chinese. See more in our Human practices.
3.Human Practices - We have explored the importance of our project by interviewing experts in the field of medical and robots.We conducted on-line and off-line investigations toward public for their awareness and concerns about bio-microrobots. We designed education activities for recruiting public engagement and youth training. Through our communication with researchers in Shenyang Institute of automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, we have successfully tackled several problem we encountered during our experiments. See more in our human practices.
Golden
1.Integrated Human Practices -. We have explored the importance of our project by interviewing experts in the field of medical and robots. At different stages of project, we keep close interaction and communication with the experts from fields of molecular biology, medicine, robots, physics, environment and industry. Their suggestions and assists are valuable to draw our project forward. We conducted on-line and off-line investigations toward public for their awareness and concerns about bio-microrobots. We designed education activities for recruiting public engagement and youth training. See more in our human practices.
2.Improve a Previous Part or Project - We have improve 2 parts: Part BBa_K1761005 and Part: BBa_K3061005.
3.Model your Project – We built the protein splitting model which provided guidance for the selection of the luciferase cleavage site in the wet experiment. We built the thermodynamic model, which provided guidance for the selection of wet experimental molecular switches. We built the physical model of microalgae movement, whichexplores and demonstrates the physical laws behind the series of interesting movements of microalgae. This model also provides a potent tool to predicate the possible movement pattern of Chlamydomonas in different liquid environment. See more in our model.
4.Demonstration of Your Work - Our demonstration consists of four parts. First, we observed the movement of engineered alga under UV and red light conditions，to prove that intracellular blue light can promote the motility of them. Secondly, we constructed a light switch system and accomplished the molecular validation of it. After that, we optimized our design by replacing Rluc with a luciferace of a smaller size - Nanoluc and validate the design by molecular experiments. Finally, through comparative characterization experiments, we have affirmed our protein splitting model. Check out our demonstration.
