Collaboration

We have collaborated with two other iGEM teams this year.

They are SZU-CHINA(https://2019.igem.org/Team:SZU-China/Collaborations)and SYSU-CHINA(https://2019.igem.org/Team:SYSU-CHINA/Collaborations).

Detailed information are showing below.

1.Lab Support/Experts by SZU-CHINA
SZU

In the summer vacation, we finished some of the experiments in Shenzhen University, Xili campus. The members of SZU-CHINA taught us how to use some essential equipment for lab and operate the machine used during our experiment. In our free time, we usually talked with them about mutual projects during these two months, which made us closer. After the long-term vacation, they also invited us to visit an expert, Jia Bin, who studies the protein fermentation at Shenzhen University. After a day of staying in the lab of protein fermentation, we learned about the detailed procedure of ferment, which may help us improve our protein manufacture and preservation.

2. Lecture with SZU-CHINA and SYSU-CHINA
SZU SYSU

At the beginning of September, our team held a lecture about synthetic biology and iGEM in Shenzhen foreign languages school with team SZU-CHINA and team SYSU-CHINA. As the sponsor of this event, we invited two university teams to our school to give the presentation together. During the preparation of it, we present two questionnaires together, which is written by Shenzhen foreign languages school students, to see which area about biology that they are most interested in, so that we can prepare the material for the presentation more directly and efficiently, and we also had a small solon to communicate face-to-face in order to know more deeply about how the audienceand and the lecturers could communicate face-to-face.
