Team:ZJUT China B/Attributions
This is a special year.Due to COVID-19, all iGEM teams around the world are facing unprecedented challenges, and we are no exception.From pre-competition training, project selection, online meetings, the dilemma of not being able to participate iGEM, and finally being able to carry out experiments, we have encountered the most difficult year in history. Everyone is under physical and mental pressure, carrying out the experiment anxiously while comforting teammates to relax.In this battle, we have received a lot of constructive suggestions and assistance from teachers, friends, older students and so on.Meanwhile, each member of the team has made a great contribution to the project.Here, we appreciate everyone who contributes to the project.we try to list all the people who have helped us. No matter how big the help is, we should give them our most sincere thanks.
Contribution of each part
After iGEM Mentorship Program
Asal Golshaie:
We got to know Asal through a mentorship program (After iGEM Mentorship Program). As our mentor, she has helped us solve a lot of problems throughout the season, safety form, promotion video, experiments, ethics, team title and abstract, wiki editing etc. At the last moment, Asal also helped us fix some errors in our wiki and poster. Most of all, she always encourages us not to worry, she always helps us to find solutions when we are in trouble. When we were too busy to find her, she came to us to ask if we were in trouble.
Dorothy Zhang:
She guided our HP at the CCiC meeting and participated in the meet up held by Jiangnan University. In addition, she indirectly provided us with a lot of information through Asal.
Michael Taylor:
Michael gave us a lot of advice on wiki(hardware and model), and gave us a lot of confidence.
iGEM2019 team members
Sindar：
Xinda Wang is the team leader for 2019 ZJUT-China, mainly doing human practice work last year. At the beginning of our team's establishment, when we didn't know anything, Xinda Wang gave us a lot of suggestions on how to better arrange the project schedule, what should be paid attention to in the process of doing the project, and how to manage the team. She also gave us a preliminary understanding of the whole process of iGEM and some things that need to be done, as well as a lot of human practice suggestions.
Yuemin Li：
Yuemin Li is the leader of the wet lab of 2019 ZJUT-China. She gave us a lot of experimental guidance, including experimental operation specifications, experimental precautions, experimental safety, etc. She taught us to construct parts and learn to use the resources on the iGEM website. In addition, she also gave us a lot of spiritual comfort and company. She also helped us to make presentation videos, add subtitles and dubbing together, and stay up late till dawn with us.
Yu Zheng:
Yu Zheng is mainly responsible for wiki, He gave us a lot of advice and guidance on page layout, design, code upload and learning how to edit wiki. Because we have never been in contact with wiki designing before, we need to learn from scratch. Zheng Yu's guidance has made us less detours which is the basis for us to finish the wiki as our expetation.
Yu Weng :
Yu Weng was mainly responsible for material purchase and fund management. Since we didn't have any experience at the beginning. We didn't know how to purchase materials and manage funds and even didn't know which materials we needed to buy. It was Weng Yu's patient guidance that enabled us to quickly get familiar with these matters.
Classmates
Changqing Luo：
Master Changqing is my former roommate. He is one of the students in our college who has a better understanding of basic circuits. I asked him many questions about the construction of the photosensitive amplifier circuit. He was very enthusiastic and helped us make this circuit. Because we don't know how strong the actual fluorescence is, many adjustments were made on the final device. We are very grateful to him because he has made a great contribution to the installation.
——Yi Fan
Weiyu Xie :
Weiyu Xie helped us with premiere to edit our presentation video and helped us add subtitles to the video. Even though it was already very late at that time, she stayed with us until the work was done.
Wenchen Zhang：
Wenchen Zhang joined us when we met great problems of wiki. He is patient and professional. His joining and advice really brought us a lot of help.
Yujie Liu：
Yujie Liu joined the team as an honorary member. Mainly responsible for the project human practice group’s work which includes participating in the discussion and design of promotional video, designing questionnaires for research and connecting with business to promote research. In the meantime, she also carried out academic exchanges with the students in the team, self-learning of molecular biology related knowledge.

Company
BIOER
In order to get cutting-edge market information and sponsorship, HP group did in-depth market research.We visited the BIOER company and interviewed technical director, marketing manager and general manager. Fortunately, we got a lot of advice in the device design, experiment and the human practice job .The GenScript company has played an important role in the design and the use of our probes. We also have reached an agreement with the company that we will have in-depth communication with the company at different stages in the following project.The RadoBio company provided us with financial assistance and the
SnapGene company provided us with software.
GenSript
GenScript gave us a lot of constructive advice on fluorescent probe design and gave us material purchase discount. The company gave us an interview and arranged for senior professors to answer our questions, which helped us design and clarify the detection experiment.
Here, we sincerely appreciate your help, whether it is teachers, students, senior students or our team members, it is your common strength that helped with the successful completion of the project.
