The first four recruited iGEM team members met at Med Campus, namely Ezio, Sasha, Richard and Natasia. We discussed further recruiting of members from the Science, Humanities and Engineering faculties. Marco gave us advice on ways in which to work best together. He also told us that we should aim to start lab work earlier than the team of last year.

After being recruited on the iGEM team, I met with Karl who is my supervisor for the project for the year. He and I discussed a few ideas for the project. He recommended that I read Jay Keasling's articles. Some of the ideas we discussed was a way of hydrolysing hormones present in water using bacteria. We also discussed perhaps a project looking at the ability to stop conjugation in bacteria.
