Oxford iGEM

An iGEM team from Oxford generously offered us help in mathematical modeling of our experiments. We appreciated their operative and precise work a lot. We have agreed on the collaboration over a couple of Skype calls and continued to manage the deal by the emails over a period of two months. The description of the modeling Oxford team performed can be found here.

What is more, we did not only collaborate on the dry lab, but also on the Human Practices side. Since we found out that our projects looked quite similar and were based on the creation of probiotics, we have launched a survey on probiotics delivery method and compared the results between two countries. The results of the survey are described here.

WashU iGEM

We were very grateful to WashU iGEM team from Washington, USA, who contacted us and asked to confirm their results of a biobrick characterization. They have chosen to characterize a part from this year’s distribution kit – a [pavadinimas] promoter. We have organized the collaboration over a friendly online conversation. The details of a biobrick characterization can be found here.

Virginia iGEM

We were happy to help The Virginia iGEM team by responding to their survey about the awareness and use of biocontainment in iGEM projects. We hope that our answers were helpful for creating a pamphlet for future iGEM teams to disseminate information about biocontainment and provide tools for teams to select and implement methods more easily.

Bulgaria iGEM

We were very happy that a new team Bulgaria iGEM provided our team member Sofija with a warm welcome. We have exchanged our project ideas, shared experience, and gave some insights on how to manage the project. Bulgaria iGEM team members kindly showed Sofija the laboratory they are working in and also showed her around the city. We are very happy that iGEM competition creates possibilities of international communication.
