Collaborations

Our team is delighted to say that we were part of the video collaboration created by the TU Delft iGEM Team (Phocus)! One of the goals of TU Delft iGEM Team is to educate people about synthetic biology. Because of that, they decided to make an informative video where many iGEM teams could share all the amazing projects we are creating using synthetic biology! You can hear more about the problems we are solving and the way we are doing this by watching the video here

We were also able to collaborate with teams of iGEM IISER Berhampur and CCU iGEM, Taiwan! The projects of both teams are centered around understanding Dengue and developing ways to diagnose it. We were able to contribute to their projects by answering a survey about Dengue disease that they sent for human practices. After filling out the form, we were able to share it with our instagram and facebook followers to create awareness among our community.

Last but not least, our team was able to create our own collaborative project, the logo challenge! This challenge was mainly created to symbolize the idea that all iGEM teams, although competing against each other during the Giant Jamboree, are all united towards the same goal: making this world a better and more habitable place. Because of the different ideas and problem-solving skills that each team has, we decided to compile iGEM teams’ logos and recreate a light bulb, symbolizing our distinct ideas for our overall goal. To represent the expansion of iGEM worldwide and the importance it has in our lives, we decided to make our light bulb collage an integral addition to the world.
