Advisors
IGEM is not a one-time journey. After the IGEM competition, we have more time for activities such as After-IGEM etc. We appreciate three IGEMers from last year's iGEM team for helping us a lot. In addition, we are also very grateful to the senior students guiding us on our experiments.
Yujia Liu
When we were brainstorming, Yujia Liu gave us a lot of useful suggestions and taught us to consult the literature. Additionally, he introduced us a variety of methods for constructing plasmids which has a profound impact on our project design.
Xinlei Fang
As a major member of the iGEM experimental group last year, Xinlei Fang told us a lot of experimental tips and experimental precautions.
Jiabao Li
In the process of project advance, Jiabao Li always patiently reminded us of the deadlines for various matters. Besides, he also helped us in modeling.
Jiping Zhao
Jiping Zhao, phD student, has rich experience in experiments. She taught us a lot experimental skills and guided us to do primer design and plasmid design.
External Assistance
IGEM is a long journey. In the process of moving forward, we have met many intelligent and dynamic partners. We are very grateful for their kind help.
Yongjing Li
Yongjing Li helped us a lot in Human practice. She did two wonderful interviews for our team and got a lot of information from experts on the development of our project. As an outgoing and kind person, she was always active in education and public engagement.
Qihan Meng
When we firstly established our project, Qihan Meng helped us to do research on sleep quality and problems. Meanwhile, she also helped us to analyze our data and consult relevant research data in the literature.
Longning Huang
Longning Huang provided us with aerial photography equipment and took group photos of our team. When we have problems with hardware design, he also provided 3D printing help for us.
Bo Diao
Bo Diao helped us to design our hardware and search for relevant modeling parameters.
Guofan Fan
Guofan Fan helped to construct our APP coupling with the hardware.
PIs & Instructors
IGEM is also a rare research experience, we are very grateful to our PIs and Instructors for their patient assistance.
Xiaoyun Lu
Professor Lu encouraged us to carry out innovative practices. She provided us with good experimental conditions. With her suggestion, we have chosen fragrance molecules which can improve sleep conditions. She also provided us with great ideas to make our project more attractive.
Dan Tan
Dr.Tan gave us detailed information on our experiments. She taught us to construct plasmid maps and optimize our experimental schedule. She suggested that we perform separate characterization of the parts.
Shuhong Sun
Teacher Sun helped us in our experiments and taught us about lab safety.
Shuyan Qi
Teacher Qi taught us a lot of experimental skills.
Thank you for your company and guidance along the way!
