ZJU iGEM would like to thank the following organizations and people for their support to our team
Prof WU Min from ZJU Life Science Department for his kind help for us to apply for funding:

• Mr DING Ming from Biology Lab Center for his flawless maintenance of the 413 lab in which all our research took place

• RUAN Zhangxia for her beautiful artwork that gave life to our APP

• Mr ZHANG Shelong from the public platform of ZJU life science department and SHEN Minhong, a graduate student from Prof ZHOU Tianhua's lab, for helping us to use laser confocal

• XU Xiaofeng, a graduate student from Prof LUO Chen's lab, for helping to use frozen tissue slicing machine

• Dr. CAI Yizhi for his enlightening lecture and encouragement

• All Chinese iGEM teams for their sharing during the China meet-up.

• Peking U and SJTU-BioX-Shanghai iGEM team for their advice and encouragement, and SJTU, Qinghua, Fudan for filling our human practice survey.

• And ALL members of ZJU Synthetic Biology Club members for your passionate participation and brilliant ideas during brainstorm!

 

Nearly all the work of our projects has been done by undergraduate students.

Here are their code names at work.

Flower=HUA Yijie; Xiaotong=YAO Xiaotong; Loli=HU Chenyue; GeGe=XIA Yu; Kunkun=XI Yakun; Little Leaf=LI Ye; Mari=MA Lie; Little TianTian=TIAN Luyi; Little QingQing=SUN Xiangqing; Marker=MA Keyue; Pidan=PI Ruoxi; Antelope=XU Chenling; Celow=CHEN Xinlei

Parts Design

Our parts are designed by Flower, and Antelope contributed by changing the anaerobic promoter.

Parts Assembly

Pidan, Marker, GeGe, Little Leaf were mainly in charge of the parts assembly. Mari, Antelope and Xiaotong also contributed.

Parts Characterization

This is a particular tedious job of which Pidan and Marker are mainly in charge of. Flower and Mari have also undertaken a large amount of work. Data has been analyzed by Marker and Loli.

Biofilm Formation

Antelope has designed the silicon tube and bubbling biofilm formation system and Flower the cell culture plate method. Observation including frozen slicing and microscopic measurement have been done by Antelope, Pidan and Xiaotong.

Biofilm Stratification

Flower, Antelope and Mari evaluated the biofilm stratification by laser confocal. Loli analyzed the data using matlab. Sub-project: Cellulose degradation Parts Design: These parts are designed by Marker and Little Leaf. Parts Assembly: Little Leaf and GeGe have assembled parts concerning cellulose degradation.

Modeling

Kunkun is in full charge of the modeling work. Many team members helped him in clarifying the biological background.

App

Loli designed the game. Celow and Little QingQing did the coding. RUAN Zhangxia did the design.

Tools

Loli designed the tool (as well) and wrote the matlab tool. Celow wrote the excel tool.

Novel

With inspiration from Kunkun, Antelope wrote this novel and GeGe has drawn the illustrations.

Funding

Loli and Marker designed a survey and wrote a funding analysis and guide for future teams.

Wiki

Our wiki construction is mainly in charge of Little Tiantian and Little Qingqing. Loli helped to put it together after wiki was frozen...
