Team:Peking/Team/Collaboration

Being one part of the iGEM society is a wonderful way to learn about what is going on in the field of synthetic biology, how to share your fancy ideas with people and work collaboratively with team members. Besides, it provides fantastic opportunities to make friends with people in other teams and EVEN collaborate internationally. Since the PKU iGEM team was founded in 2007, we have been cooperating with other iGEM teams from different countries and continents.

Asia Taiwan Workshop

In spring, we joined the Asia workshop in Taiwan. We did a presentation to share our idea about heavy metal decontamination kit with other iGEM participants. At same time, we learned more about projects from other teams and made friends with them. During the discussion with others, we got a deeper understanding about how iGEM is changing and what the future of iGEM will be.

IGEM CHINA 2010 Held in Shanghai

We set up a Google group to improve the communication among Chinese teams. A growing number of Chinese undergraduate are interested in Synthetic Biology and in iGEM. This year, there are a dozen Chinese teams attending in iGEM competition. Some of them are newcomers to this competition. The PKU iGEM team was founded in 2007, so we want to share our experience with them. In this Google group (http://groups.google.com/group/igem-china), the information about iGEM 2010 competition and the experience of team construction have been sharing. Based on the idea from SJTU-BioX-Shanghai and us, almost all members got together in Shanghai to discuss project design and lab experience in August. On August 5th, teams from 7 top universities in China, SJTU-BioX-Shanghai, ECUST-Shanghai, Peking, Tsinghua, USTC & USTC_Software, ZJU-China, and Sun Yat-sen University all gathered in Shanghai and had a nice day at the iGEM 2010 China Meetup. Each team made a presentation displaying their projects and progresses since the summer began, followed by free questioning and discussion time. The leader of our team, Haoqian Zhang, gave a presentation about team construction and development.

Interaction with Paris team

Pairs team is our old friend. We had interaction with them in 2009. This year, a member of PKU 2008 iGEM team joined in Pairs team. We offer a set of experiment protocols to help them develop the new tech standard "openProtocol". Also, we translated their ethics of this project in Chinese to promote the internationalization of their openProtocol tool.

Parts Sharing

We have been sharing parts, which constructed by PKU 2009 iGEM team, with Brown team.

Meanwhile, the parts, which sent by iGEM headquarters, were shared to Tsinghua team.
