Our team spent time going through literature and got together many times brainstorming and discussing ideas. Eventually we settled on the final idea. We discussed plasmids, chemicals and cell lines already present in the Departement of Synthetic Biology and Immunology, National Institute of Chemistry (Slovenia), where we spent most of these six months, performing our experiments.

Before 25.4.2016

The first team meeting was on 18.3.2016, where we discussed initial project proposals from students accepted to the team.

Our team spent time going through literature and got together many times to brainstorm and discuss ideas. Eventually we settled on the final idea. We discussed plasmids, chemicals and cell lines already present in the Department of Synthetic Biology and Immunology, National Institute of Chemistry (Slovenia), where we spent most of these six months, performing our experiments.
