IGEM Course

Our PI Zefang Wang hosted and opened iGEM related courses for us, including experimental and theoretical parts. We have developed a variety of online and offline courses, and materials can be obtained for free online. This course has been developed for many years. Although it is not perfect, it has been improved every year. By this year, it can basically meet the needs of students. Our course starts in February and ends in June, and then we start our program in the summer vacation. From February we entered the laboratory for training under the guidance of our advisor Can Cui, and from April we brainstormed under the enlightenment of Professor Haitao Yang .

From this iGEM course, not only do we understand what synthetic biology is, but we also become skillful in doing experiments by practicing and assisting other graduate students. It yields unlimited benefit to our project.

Wiki pages building

Zhaomeng Wang

Separates the entire wiki webpages project into different parts and assigns them to fellow team members in accordance with their speciality, as the team leader of the wiki group. And he design the framework of the webpages. Plus he designed an attractive navigation bar of our webpages..

Qingyuan Shi

As a front end developer, creates several wiki pages and wrote some JavaScript codes to set up the visual identification system for our wiki pages. And he also solved a few adaption problems of our webpages that occurred when the code uploaded into the IGEM server or the user uses different device.

Yating Zhang, Shumin Zong

Cooperate with each other, responsible for the layout design of some pages. They realized and modified some of the HTML, CSS, JS code, and written the text of the page and insert some pictures which relates to the theme of our webpages.

Hengkang Li

As the webpage art design, gave them some suggestions in terms of the color plan of the webpages. And he also found some icon and graph which is important for the UI design.
