| We embarked on our iGEM project in early July, after finishing our exams and having about a week off for a bit of rest and relaxation. There have been highs, there have been lows, but it's all part of the amazing journey that is iGEM! We really hope you enjoy reading our diary, but if you're a bit short of time we recommend the video diary for a slightly more entertaining experience! | |

| We had a really encouraging meeting with Dr Julie Balen of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She did her PhD in Schistosomiasis and now specialises in Public Health and Epidemiology. We discussed the various uses for our detection kit and outlined what the advantages were of using synthetic biology over more traditional alternatives. For more information, check out the video!
On Thursday, we did a presentation to around 150 second year biochemists. It was terrifying, but we survived. Just. The feedback from the advisors was really useful and gave us lots of ideas on how we can improve the presentation. |
