iGEM Reading Course
Members from previous Stony Brook iGEM Teams were teaching assistants (TAs) for our spring reading course about iGEM. Not only did they gave us a brief introduction to synthetic biology, but they also gave insights and tips during on our construct and experimental design. We would like to thank our TAs for sparring their time to help us succeed in iGEM.
Research Support and Professional Advice
We would like to thank the following individuals for their valuable advice and insights regarding our projects:
Kate Creasey
President & Founder of Grow More Foundation
Dr. Creasey provided us with a couple of wise words regarding the potential of synthetic biology playing a bigger role in agriculture. Furthermore, she provided us with valuable insights on the particular plants to aim our projects at and pointed us to look at the UVR8-COP1 system for our project.
Robert M. Hughes
Assistant Professor at East Carolina University
Dr. Hughes provided us his expertise and insights on Bax in an optogenetic system. He also gave us many potential factors to model.
Vladislav Verkhusha
Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Dr. Verkhusha enlightened us on the intricacies of the BphP1-PpsR2 optogenetic system and revealed that the BphB1 system was not a feasible option for our project.
