16-05-2011 | Meeting 10

Labwork

  • Next week we will check the lab
    • Meet the people
  • We need accounts at UvA and acces to the computers

Funding

McKinsey scholarship

  • Jantine will apply us for the scholarship

Kickstarter

  • Good website to get small money sponsoring
  • An account will be made

Facebook

  • Everybody should like our site

Press

  • Make a press release when we start working in the lab

Projects

  • A selection of the most promising projects has been made

Buruli ulcer: Mycolactone

  • A professor from Groningen will be contacted
  • Questions that we have:
    • Can it diffuse across a membrane in coli?
    • Can it be used in coli?
    • What kind of lab (safety) is required?
    • Is there an inactive form of the molecule?
    • Can we work with it in Amsterdam?
    • Is Groningen willing to donate a couple of days worth of labtime for us to do our validation experiments?
    • How contagious/poisonous is it?
    • Is mycolactone presented on the cell surface when bacterium is in the environment or only when it has infected a host?

Thermostable bacteria

  • Expend the growth temperature curve of E.coli
  • What temperatures are normal for E. coli?

Luring insects

  • Has to be checked, because the other ideas failed
