Who did what
The teams were assembled during our winter quarter. During this term we went around to classes and had weekly meetings to introduce students to synthetic biology through a series of guest lectures. During the spring, students participated in brainstorming projects related to the sponsoring Faculty advisors labs (Baker and Klavins) and came up with the project they wanted to carry out. Students also planned and partcipated in community outreach events where we taught our community about synthetic biology. Over the summer, students completed all of the experimental work, but worked closely with both graduate students and faculty advisors to plan the most pertinent experiments and make the most of our limited time.
Alkanes Production
After producing promising results, in future directions
Casey Ager, Austin Moon, and Seth Sagulo worked on Enzyme Localization via Direct Fusion and Zinc Finger Fusion methods.
Ju Hye An, Elaine Lai, and Benjamin Mo worked on Decarbonylase Redesign
Marika Cheng and Justin De Leon worked on Alternative Chassis
Chris Choe and David Zong worked on Alternate Aldehyde Production
Matthew Harger worked on Branched Alkanes Production
Lei Zheng worked on System Optimization
Gluten Degradation
Sydney Gordon, Daniel Hadidi, Liz Stanley, Angus Toland, Sarah Wolf, and Sean Wu designed, built, and tested Kumamolisin-As and over 100 mutants to combat gluten intolerance by increased activity on the PQLP antigenic peptide.
iGEM Toolkits
Michael Brasino, Rashmi Ravichandran, and Alicia Wong
Community Outreach
Cindy Wu headed and organized all iGEM 2011 Community Outreach events.
