Through our project we have received support and help from a whole variety of people, and we would like to extend our gratitude to everyone involved.
We would like to thank Professor Frank Sargent, Professor Tracy Palmer and Professor Fordyce Davidson, who made this amazing opportunity became a reality by putting our team together and securing both that oh-so-crucial funding and a place in which to work that allowed us to take part in iGEM. They have also aided greatly by guiding us through various aspects of our project, ranging from the biology behind it to maths modelling.
A big thank you to our amazing advisers Fatima Ulhuq, Alex Finney and John Allan, who all helped us tremendously with teaching us how to work in a lab, as well as guiding us through our project. Big thanks also to our other adviser Lucas J. Morales Moya, who taught us maths modelling from scratch and could always find time in which to help us with it.
The same to the Dundee University collegiate team for working alongside us and always being on hand to help out, as well as for being fun to spend breaks with.
We would also like to give a big thank you to;
- Erin Stanbridge, Division Secretary - for always helping to organise everything and anything, including train journeys and flights. Oh, and that beautifully stocked stationary cupboard *wipes tear*.
- Dr Jackie Heilbronn, Lab Manager - for teaching us all of the lab safety protocols and making sure we stayed safe.
- Dr Grant Buchanan for teaching us a lot about microbiology, providing help, giving us samples of Serratia marcescens and E. coli gDna, and for making us laugh with his jokes.
- IT Department of Dundee University for providing us with access to the system which allowed us to do a lot of work. Central Technical Services of Dundee University for providing us with clean, and sterilized equipment as well various media used in our project.
- MRC PPU DNA Sequencing and Services, for giving us free sequence runs.
- The Garland Café in the Life Sciences building, for making dem gewd bacon rolls and for keeping Darryl alive on Monday mornings with coffee.
- Olawale Raimi for providing us with Rhamnose in a crucial moment where we ran out.
- Brian Walshe from the charity Mercy Ships, for not ignoring us and for referring us to Rob Porter.
- Rob Porter, Consultant of Microbiology and Infection - for giving us a lot of detailed feedback on our initial ideas/plans, as well as raising excellent questions that helped shape our project.
Lastly we, the 2016 Dundee Schools Team, would like to give a big thank you to everyone in the Life Sciences' Molecular Microbiology Department, who were always very kind and helpful in all situations.
