Team:Fudan-TSI/Collaborations

Fudan
We kept close collaboration with team Fudan since we two teams were set up in January 2019. We shared our ideas and suggestions with each other. Besides, they gave us a sample of their plasmid containing the Tetracycline resistance gene to us. In return, we provided our experiment protocols and equipment to them. The continuous communication between members of the two teams contributes to promoting respective projects.
Shanghai_YGQ
This year, we also welcomed a high school team to our campus, Shanghai_YGQ. They set up their team based on the lab space at Fudan University, so we got to be in close contact. We both worked on the same floor in the Life Science Building. Due to the convenience, we exchanged ideas with each other frequently. We offered them some advice on experiments, lab safety and other details regarding competition. Correspondingly they showed us what nowadays high school students thought of synthetic biology, which helped with our public engagement human practice.
Nanjing-China
We communicated with team Nanjing-China about our project for the first time in May 2019 at the BUDS, Biology Undergraduate Development Symposium, through which we exchanged our experience about how to perform experiments in practice. Then during the 6th Conference of China iGEMers Community (CCiC), we made collaboration on modeling. We recommended them to assume that the phosphorus absorption rate was inversely proportional to the amount of phosphorus absorbed in their phosphorus absorption rate curve model. In return they suggested us to combine the three process of transcription, reverse transcription and recombination in the modeling. We both made great progress through the interchange between each other.
ECUST_China
We received valuable suggestions on the activity forms of Education and Public Engagement HP from them. In exchange, we offered them a protocol for reference to verify that their parts could work.
SMMU-China
We gave them plasmid samples containing various transcription factors and promotors constructed by the 2017 iGEM team Fudan.
