This was a week full of brainstorming meetings...On Monday we had a meeting with our supervisors and advisors. We finally reached around 150 topics. Our goal until the expire of the week was to come as closer as possible to our goal: our final topic!!! On Thursday we decide to continue with the four most prevalent topics. On Friday we gave a presentation for each one of these topics in front of advisors, supervisors and some guests. We finally end the week with the two best ideas for us!

Week 15

Lesley Robertson, the Biological Safety Officer of the Faculty of Applied Sciences met us in her office. She explained us about the safety issues and the regulations that we have to follow while working in the lab. At the end of the week we had our second brainstorming session. All of us were very creative and we came up with many new ideas for topics.

Week 14

Week 13

This week a presentation from two members of the last year's iGEM team of TU Delft (Nadine and Eva) was in our schedule. They gave us a short introduction about Synthetic Biology, their way of working last year, their advices, but also about our responsibilities while working for iGEM. Amsterdam’s iGEM team was there as well! We had the opportunity to meet them and to have our first talk about our progress and our future plans. The advices of the supervisors from both teams were very inspiring and useful in planning our first steps…
