Project idea
Brainstorming was done by all master students: Griet De Clercq, Bram Danneels, Wouter Steyaert, and Chari Vandenbussche. Eventually, Wim Van Criekinge came up with the final idea. Steven De Blieck provided the idea of mimicking the Namib Desert Beetle.
Fundraising and PR
Bram Danneels set up all social media pages, contacted possible sponsors and press, made contact with other iGEM teams etc. Coaching was provided by Steven De Blieck, Wim Van Criekinge, and Marjan De Mey.
Work packages
Shape
Bram De Jaegher, Michiel Stock, and Chari Vandenbussche did both the hands-on work and brainstorming for designing the shape. Griet De Clercq, Wouter Steyaert and Steven De Blieck helped with the brainstorming. Supervision was done by Wim Van Criekinge.
Filament
David Bauwens and Bob Van Hove, with supervising by Wim Van Criekinge.
Biofunction
All lab work is done by Maarten Van Brempt, Bob Van Hove, and Sofie Lodens. Griet De Clercq summarized their lab notes, and Bram Danneels helped with brainstorming. Supervision was done by Yves Briers and Marjan De Mey.
Functional assay
Bram De Jaegher made our experimental setup and Bram De Jaegher and Michiel Stock performed the measurements, supervised by Wim Van Criekinge.
Wiki
Steven De Blieck worked on the design. Maarten Van Brempt, Griet De Clercq, Bob Van Hove, Bram De Jaegher, Sofie Lodens, Wouter Steyaert, and Michiel Stock worked on the content, under guidance of Marjan De Mey.
Logo, banner, video and poster
Griet De Clercq designed the dewpal logo, and banner. Bram Danneels made and edited our promo video.
Acknowledgements
A big thanks goes to Eva D'haene for designing the UGent iGEM logo, which we re-used from a previous iGEM project from our university; to Katrijn Vannerum (N2N), Kris Binon (Flam3D) and Jolien Coenraets (Durf Denken UGent) for guiding and helping us with the PR and fundraising; to Deepak Mehta (3Dee) for giving advice on how we could make an even more optimal shape; to Kurt Van Houtte (FabLab) for printing our shapes; to Prof. Dan Fernandez (CSUMB) for giving us the opportunity to test our shape in real life conditions on a hill in America; to Ali Oğulcan Dülger (Timelab) for help with the filament extruder; to Winnie Poncelet from ReaGent for general advice for our project ; to Stevie Van Overtveldt for the help with the ELISA protocol to detect our fusion protein on the PLA filaments ; to Ophelia Gevaert for the help with the Native PAGE to confirm our mGFPuv is indeed monomeric; and to Pieter Vantorre for giving advice on the responsive hardware wiki page.
Sponsors
CSB, the Centre for Synthetic Biology is a collaboration of different research groups at the faculty of bioscience engineering at Ghent University. They provided most of the funding for materials and equipment for our wet-lab work.
InBio, the Centre for Industrial Biotechnology and Biocatalysis is the research group of our PI Marjan De Mey, specialised in metabolic engineering. They provided us with the necessary knowhow and lab space to conduct our wet-lab work.
Biobix, the laboratory of Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics is the research group of our PI Wim van Criekinge. Their core competences are bioinformatics, data-integration and analysis. They provided the necessary financial and logistic support for our project.
IDT, Integrated DNA Technologies is one of the leading suppliers in custom made oligonucleotides. Thanks to their sponsorship deal with iGEM, we were able to order our primes from them free of charge.
Merck is a leading science and technology company, providing advanced and quality material for the pharmaceutical and chemical sector. By sponsoring us, they wanted to show their support for our project.
