Collaborations

In the project time we tried to establish as much as possible interaction with iGEM teams and labs.

With iGEMers

We established a collaboration for the Human practice with two teams: On one hand, we gave our opinion to Freiburg's after reviewing their "Oath for Life" project. The main point, in our opinion that needed to be worked on was about the respect of laws and regulations and the fact that they should mention and may be develop a point about international standards since an oath is valid if everybody respects it worldwide. We wish them good luck! On the other hand, we would like to thanks the Grenoble team for helping us on our Human Practice project by sending us a video of a debate about Synthetic Biology they did. We are working with the leaflets they sent us to help them in return: we gave a quiz on synthetic biology to two samples of undergraduate students involved in an interdisciplinary curriculum. The first sample has no leaflet and the second work with the leaflet. For more information, see: Grenoble's human practice page.

Thanks to the Peking iGEM team, we re-used their 2007 iGEM project result (the push-on push-off system) in our own project. They kindly sent this device to us as well as microbial strains. We are indebted to their team leader for participating to a couple of our reunions at the beginning of our project during his stay in Paris; his ideas helped us moving forward in the different competing projects we had in mind.

With the world

During the project we established contact with several labs which gave us strains and plasmids. We would like to give special thanks to:

  • P.Dubey and S.Ben-Yehuda, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem whose article spiked our interest and initiated our project. We thank them for the strains they gave us and for their kind advice in setting up the experiments
  • M. Elowitz, from Caltech, who gave us his pComG-cfp pComS-yfp contruction
  • L. A. Sonenshein, from Tufts University, who gave us ∆CodY B. Subtilis strains
  • J. V. Veening, from Groningen Usiversity, for the reporter strains he sent us in relation with the sporulation system
  • H. Putzer, from IBPC, for the multi host vector we biobricked
  • S. Serror, from Orsay University, for the help and advice she gave us
  • D. Lane, from Toulouse II University, who gave us the tetR:YFP and TetO array we biobricked
  • P. Bassereau, from Institut Curie for the ideas she gave us to model the assisted diffusion
  • Y. Chai, from Losick Lab (Harvard University) who provided us strains for the biofilm project
