The team was mentored by NIU Xiaoqi, team member and captain of BU-AMU. Niu offered the team with much insight into experiments, modeling, and meet-ups. He attended our weekly meetings, and with his help, we were able to more effectively carry out trials, construct two models, and realize the human practices.

We attended two meetups, held by After iGEM and Beijing_iBowu, respectively.

On March 14th, Brain, Nicole, Ken, and Ethan attended an After iGEM meetup in NYU Shanghai. It is the first meet up in Eastern China by After iGEM. During the meetup, we communicated with several teams and established a group chat on WeChat for the exchange information and resources. We got a full apprehension of Giant Jamboree after attending it.

We attended a second meetup in Beijing on July 8th. Beijing_iBowu held the meetup. By then, we had an idea of how our whole project would be. Therefore, we gave a presentation on our project. We also engaged in fruitful communications with other teams. From that meetup, we were able to enhance our experiment design through communicating with other teams. We also got to know Shanghai_YGQ, a team that collaborated with us intensively during the next several months.

We shared our experiences and collaborated closely with Shanghai_YGQthroughout the process, including but not limitted to choosing the topic, experimental methods and design, and event organization.

We greatly benefitted from tutorials on constructing an iGEM wiki made by US_AFRL_CarrollHSand other teams. We successfully solved problems such as disabling the iGEM logo on the page, changing the width of the website and creating templates on the iGEM server.

Last but certainly not least, if it weren’t for the help and guidance from research professionals, other teams, iGEM alumni, industry leaders, and the public, our project would have been much more difficult to complete. We received incredible support from Tom Luo and SFLS alumni and iGEM alumni, and the ECUST School of Bioreactor engineering that was so kind as to let us use their labs. The former and current team leaders of ECUST_China also helped us a lot when we were settling our project.
