Our project wouldn’t proceed smoothly without the contribution of any member of the team. Team Leader: Our team came into existence under the leadership of Xinyuan Qiu in December 2015. He observed our characteristics carefully and exerted our greatest potential. Our team worked efficiently due to his outstanding leadership. Experiment: Xinyuan Qiu, Chushu Zhu, Yue Wang and Yishi Lu completed most of the experiments. Wiki: Everyone shared his or her brilliant ideas about the style of the wiki. Jiaxin Ma worked on the visual appearance of it. Xinyuan Qiu was responsible for web copy writing. Poster: Chushu Zhu was engaged in composing the texts in our poster. Jiaxin Ma and Xinyuan Qiu devoted themselves to the layout and the art design of the poster. Presentation: Xinyuan Qiu, Jiaxin Ma and Chushu Zhu will give the presentations during the competition, they have rehearsed several times and all of us gathered and discussed to improve it. Team Shirt: Yufei Xu designed our team shirt. Modeling: Chushu Zhu and Xinyuan Qiu were in charge of the modeling. Human practice: Dongyu Fan and Jiaxin Ma were in charge of HP. Yifan Zhang and Qijie Xu designed an interesting game based on our project. Yue Wang popularized some basic knowledge of cancer in the community together with Xi Cheng. Besides, they went to the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University to interview Dr. Wenjin Li and Dr. Tao Hou about cancer. Jiaxin Ma and Huifang Wang designed a questionnaire to know the public awareness of early detection of cancer. Yishi Lu organized a great debate on ethical issues about cancer. Ruixuan Cheng was in charge of “LAB OPEN DAY”. Jiaxin Ma and Xi Cheng did a survey about the cost of the early cancer detection product in the market and estimated the expected cost of our product.
Acknowledgments
We would like to express our deepest gratitude towards every person and institution that have helped us. General Support: The project was supported by the Department of Chemistry and Biology of College of Science, National University of Defense Technology. Project support and advice: This project was come up with due to a brainstorming. Our primary PI Dr. Lvyun Zhu helped us to come up with the project idea, design the experiments, and be familiar with all the experimental operations. Our secondary PI Prof. Lingyun Zhu provided us a dedicated laboratory, equipments and great advise to ensure the smooth development of our project, and helped us to contact other colleges and institutes for collaboration. Our instructors Xiaomin Wu offered us the guidelines about conventional experimental techniques. Dr. Zonghuang Ye from the Department of Chemistry and Biology introduced some relevant background knowledge to us Mr. Zhe Liu and Prof. Dongyi Zhang offered us some suggestions about the project. Fundraising help and advice: We got experimental funding support from our PI Prof. Lingyun Zhu and Dr. Lvyun Zhu and travel funding support from College of Science of NUDT. Our advisor Lu Min ws in charge of expenses management. Lab support: Research Center of Biological Information of the College of Science of NUDT Provided an experimental platform for us. Difficult technique support: Our lab was newly established and is short of the equipment which is able to do the nucleotide sequence screening. In light of this, we bought the sequencing service from InvitrogenTM . Our devices and systems of parts was all verified there. Most of our regents such as enzyme were bought from TaKaRaTM and some other bio-tech companies. IDT provided us with the prime synthesize service. Genscript helped to forward our part samples shipments to iGEM HQ. Project adviser support: Our advisor Long Liu provided us solutions when we face difficulties in the process of proceeding the project. Experiment support: Dr. Wenjin Li and Dr. Tao Hou from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and Dr. De-an Tan from the Hospital of NDUT were concerned about our experimental work and helped us to get some serum samples from healthy volunteers and patients. We are eager to express our sincere thanks to all the volunteers (especially the patients) for their selfless voluntary devotion. Human Practices support: Dr. Wenjin Li and Dr. Tao Hou from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, were very kindly to answer our question about cancer. Wiki support: Our instructors Qijun Liu provided us solutions when we face difficulties in the process of wiki production. Model support: Our advisor Shaoliang Peng from the Supercomputer Center in NUDT, helped us optimize simulation algorithm and ran parallel program on Tianhe. Yuling Yang and Deyao Yu, our schoolmates from College of Science, provived us guidelines about programming and model optimization.
