Human Practice
Our team organize and participate to many events in order to promote the synthetic biology and our project. Here is listed all the events and the team member who participate to them. We also meet stakeholders in order to learn more about CRISPR-Cas9.
Mrs Geneviève Fioraso
French deputy, former ministry of Higher Education and research. She wrote a report on synthetic biology for the French Parliament.
Mrs Catherine Procaccia: French Senator. She is working on a report for the French Parliament on economical and environnemental issues of new biotechnologies, especially CRISPR-Cas9.
Mrs Agnès Ricroch: professor at AgroParisTech school working on plants and their regulations.
Mr Marc Fellous: Emeritus Professor at Paris Diderot University and Medical Doctor
Mr Eric Enderlin: French and European Patent Attorney at Novagraaf
CRISPR Cas-9 Conference
We organized a conference in Paris-Sud University about the societal issues of CRISPR-Cas9. Claire, Marin and Laetitia contacted the lecturers. Caroline introduced the CRISPR-Cas9 technology and its origins. Laetitia introduced the iGEM competition and the Paris Saclay's team. The lecturers were Pierre Walrafen, an European Patent Attorney, and Jean Denis Faure, a researcher and professor at AgroParisTech school.
Exhibition at Nanterre University
Festival Vivant 2016
We had the opportunity to promote our project during 3 days. Marin, Coline, Caroline, Maxence, Carla, Laetitia, Mathilde and Naiane took turns presenting the project to a broad audience.
Fête de la science
Exposition Pays de Limours
Meet-up Ile de France
Vox Pop
Marin and Carla went with their camera to the Luxembourg's garden in Paris to interview the parisian and know more their opinion about synthetic biology. Marin edited the video.
Communication
Naiane was in charge of the social networks and she posted constantly on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. She also contacted the Paris-Saclay Media in order to promote the iGEM Competition and our team's project inside the Paris Saclay Complex.
Carla designed the team's logo and the marketing strategy with the romantic thematic "Get DNA Closer".
Research
In order to build our project we had to do a lot of bibliographic work and we meet researchers who helped us to realize the project.
Mr. David Bikard, a reseacher at the Institut Pasteur in Paris and an expert on CRISPR/Cas9 utilization, was meet by Victor, Caroline and Léa. He helped us choosing which orthologous dCas9s to use for our project, in order to maintain the sgRNA/dCas9 recognition specificity.
Mr.Espéli who is an expert in CRISPR/Cas9, accepted to receive Victor, Manhaz, Marion and Philippe. The assessment of this meeting was several information concerning the guideline of the project, more precisely: think about a reporter system (visualisation tool) or which area we should target (Ter site or replichores right for instance) for instance.
Our project was split in two part: Visualisation and link two DNA strand. In the part visualization, Caroline, Charlène and Léa made all the bibliographic part and they design the biobricks. Maxence, Victor, Colline and Manhaz were in charge of the linking part of the project.
Finance
Without the finance, we couldn't go to Boston, so it was an importante part of the project. Yacine and Carla contact a lot of company by e-mail. Alice, Marion and Fabio met a principal scientist from Mondelez Company also in front of who we had to defend our project. We also did a crowndfunding. To explain our project we made a video with voiceover and drawing made by Carla. The video material was provided by Martin and filmed by him.
Laboratory
Without our excellent lab team, our project will have never see the light. During the summer Laetitia, Mathilde, Caroline, Marion, Léa, Charlène, Terrence, Naiane and Alice. Then in September and October, Maxence and Mahnaz were in charge of the lab and they are the one who made the final biobricks.
Model
This part of the project was almost entirely made by Marion, our bioinformatician. During the summer she worked hard to build this part of the project.
To sum up
To sum up tha attribution part, we set a table up in order to show what each team member did, with all the information previously presented.
