Week 3: 18th July to 24th July
Monday, 18th July
Tuesday, 19th July
Ming and Rebekka met Thorsten Hamann to discuss how to grow arabidopsis in liquid culture. A problem will be organising DR5 seeds but hopefully someone will be able to help us out. They also got an induction to the plant facilities at Imperial and will hopefully be ready to start seeding soon!
Lab supplies were organised and ordered and will hopefully arrive soon.
The auxin and chemotaxis teams are working on the genetic constructs and should have them ready by tomorrow morning. Most of the optimisation is now done and sequences are almost ready to be ordered.
The chemotaxis team met with the local chemotaxis expert and got some valuable modelling advice and some general context for the chemotaxis issue. Modelling the feedback loop in chemotaxis is now a lot more advanced.
A couple of us met CJ from the Royal College of Art to discuss design and outreach options for the project. She and Koby will be working with us and we are looking forward to their artistic input!
