iGEM Japan Meetup 2019 ïŒ Gifu University
We had participated in iGEM Japan MeetUp 2018 organized by the Gifu-TOKAI team at December 8, 2018 in Gifu Univeristy. Through the meetup event, we were able to intoduce our 2018 and 2019 projects, as long as our human practice activities to the others. Moreover, we were able to exchange our opinions and thoughts on iGEM projects, which provided us wth valuable insights for our future activities.
iGEM Japan Summer Meetup 2019
August 16th, 2019, we organized the meeting âJapan Meet Upâ with other iGEM teams at TokyoTech in order to share our ideas. The teams which attended this meeting are following: TokyoTech, GIFU_TOKAI, Botchan Lab Tokyo, Kyoto, Gunma and ASIJ(High School).
At the meeting, each team gave a presentation about their project of this year in English. We shared the theme, the reason of setting the theme, the plan of experiments and so on. Then other team members asked them some questions and shared their opinions (Q&A part). There were other two teams which will participate iGEM in 2020 or later; Tokyo University and Waseda University. After they listened the presentations of the six teams, they introduced themselves.
We also invited Professor Mikami from Keio University. He is the expert of human practice. He and other two alumni gave us some advice, especially about how should we promote the knowledge of genome editing technology in the Q&A part.
We were able to know the projects of other teams, and gain the opinions from other teams. We are sure that each team became able to make their presentation in English better with this meeting. All teams got some challenges for the future and advice to solve them so the performance will be improved.
