                    <img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2019/4/4f/T--Costa_Rica--team-D5.png"
<p>We registered for iGEM, worked hard and learned a lot  this summer (it was rainy season here, actually). Also, we are looking forward to attend the Giant Jamboree soon!</p>
+
                        style="position: relative; left:-60px; top:-30px; display:inline">
<h3>2. Competition Deliverables</h3>
+
<p>We documented all our work in our <a href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:Costa_Rica">Wiki</a>and recorded our achievements in this judging form. Also, we are going to present our poster and presentation in the Giant Jamboree. </p>
+
<h3>3.  Attributions </h3>
+
<p>We completed the <a href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:Costa_Rica/Attributions">Attributions</a>page in our wiki. There we describe how we managed to complete all the work and thank all the people who helped us in this journey. </p>
+
<h3>4. Inspiration and description</h3>
+
<p>We successfully completed the <a href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:Costa_Rica/Description">Inspiration and Description</a>page in our Wiki, where we share what motivated us to propose an alternative treatment for <i>C. difficile</i>.</p>
+
<h3>5.  Characterization / Contribution</h3>

<h3>2. Collaboration:</h3>
+
<p>We managed to collaborate with other igem teams (UPNA, Tuebingen, TAS Taipei, Stonybrook, Düsseldorf, US AFRL Carroll HS, Strasbourg and UVA), as you can see  <a href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:Costa_Rica/Collaborations">here.</a> One of our main collaborations was with the Tuebingen and TAS Taipei teams for the SDG challenge, where we gathered and analyzed how iGEM teams addressed the Sustainable Development Goals declared by the UN. Also, we provided the UPNA team with a water sample from Costa Rica, so that they could validate their project. We had plenty of time getting to know other teams and we are excited to meet them at the Jamboree. </p>
+
<h3>3. Human Practices:</h3>
+
<p>As our project is related with antibiotic resistance and synthetic biology we wanted to communicate those topics to Costa Rican citizens. In order to do so, we set three different targets: decision takers, patients and general public. We held several interviews with experts to collect information and we documented that in a handbook that we shared with our targeted publics. All our achievements of the human practices we did are recorded in our <a href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:Costa_Rica/Human_Practices"> Human Practices<a>page.</p>

In order to achieve our project’s goal, we distributed different tasks and activities among the team members. We also received lots of support from people outside the team, which was extremely appreciated. In the following lines we present the work done by each of the people involved in our project.

Idea and Brainstorming

• Anthony, María Jose, Noé, Diego, Paula and Pablo: were in charged of brainstorming about different problems, doing research about the topic, proposing a solution by the use synthetic biology and designing a draft of the genetic constructs to be needed.

• David and Stefany (PIs): mentored us on the process and gave us feedback.

Project Development

• Pablo and Noé: designed the genetic sequences that were ordered.

• Anthony, María Jose, Noé, Diego, Paula and Pablo: checked all the genetic sequences, searched the protocols used and designed the experiments tested.

• Diego and Adrián: modeled the different linkers for the chemeric AgrA.

• Ignacio: designed the mathematical model of the whole system.

• Pablo, Paula and María José: worked in the wet lab. They were responsible of genetic assemblies and protein extraction and purification.

• Anthony, Noé and Diego: worked in the wet lab. They were in charged of transforming Lactobacillus casei and performing the assays in Clostridium difficile.

• Adriana, Argerie, Andrés and Ana María (pre-iGEMers): helped us in some wet lab tasks, such as preparing culture media and reagents.

• Juliana: made our project look amazing. She designed our wiki, presentations, poster, videos and images.

• Adrián: programed the codes for our wiki.

• David and Stefany (PIs): carried out all the administrative processes we needed in our universities. They also guided us in the development of the whole project, lent us their laboratories and some reagents and helped us get in contact with other experts.

• Carlos Quesada y César Rodríguez (advisors): provided us with the two strains of C. difficile with which we worked.

• Elías Barquero (instructor): lent us his lab and equipment to work with Clostridium difficile. He also gave us advises on how to work with that microorganism.

• Silvia Arce (instructor): advised us on the protocols for protein extraction and purification.

• Erick Hernández (advisor): lent us his laboratory and equipment for protein assays. He also mentored us on how to obtain our protein of interest.

• Kevin (advisor): explained to the team how to modify the wiki and advised us on how to distribute the wiki related tasks in order to have a less stressed wiki freeze.

• Abad Rodríguez (advisor) and Carolina Sancho (advisor: helped us get permission to work in the laboratories of the National University and get some reagents.

• Silver (advisor): gave us feedback on which AgrAs we had to test.

• Samantha (advisor): checked our proposal of characterization and gave us feedback.

• Jean Carlo Salas and Kevin: answered all the wiki related questions regarding code.

Human Practices

• María José, Paula and Pablo: prepared all the materials and documents needed for the Integrated Human Practice.

• Anthony, María José, Noé, Paula and Pablo: sampled 100 people for the Integrated Human Practice.

• Diego: analysed the data generated in the Integrated Human Practice.

• Carolina P. (advisor): helped us get in contact with different decision takers and experts on biopolicy. She also advised us on how to design our Public Engagement Human Practice.

• María José, Paula and Pablo: collected information about biopolicy through interviews with different experts.

• María José: contacted the Geriatrics and Gerontology Hospital.

• All team members: searched information about biopolicy in Costa Rica Md other nations in order to generate the material used for the Public Engagement Human Practice. Also, we presented that information to several deputies.

Collaborations

• María José: got in touch with the Tübingen and TAS Taipei iGEM team, in order to design and organize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Challenge.

• Pablo Vargas (instructor): proposed the idea of mapping how iGEM projects are related with SDGs and helped us get in contact with Tübingen team to start our collaboration.

• Juliana: worked on the design line for the SDG Challenge.

• Kevin (advisors): created the tool that generated the collage in the SDG Challenge.

• Noé took a water sample from a river to help the UPNA iGEM team.

• María José: was in charge of international relationships.

Funding

• Stefany and David (PIs): helped us get in contact with different enterprises to get monetary funding as well as reagents and lab supplements.

• María José, Pablo and Paula: got in touch with people and enterprises willing to donate.

• Anthony and María José: organized different events for people to contribute to the project.
