Expressing Our Thanks

Our Timeline

General Support

We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to our PI, Dr. Wei Wei. His endless enthusiasm and meaningful guidance towards our research could not be more greatly appreciated. And we also appreciate our instructors, Zhicheng Wang and Zipeng Chen. Their patient guidance towards our experiment helps us overcome lots of difficulties.

Modeling Support

We would like to thank our advisor Wenjie Guo for providing us the data of the gut microbiome used in one of our models. Besides, We'd like to express our gratitude to our teammates Xiaowei Li, Qingyang Zhao and Yuhan Wang. Interested in mathematics, structure simulation and programming respectively, they spare no efforts to learn modeling knowledge, communicate with each other and apply their skills to the final Four-in Model. Covering structural simulation, mathematical models and programming in silico, they brought the team insight into polyP in design, in bacteria, in gut and in application, which concentrated on synthetase selection, bacterial growth curve, intestinal microbiome in IBD and transformation from polyP to medicine. The results help the team biosynthesize polyP, help to explain the funcition of polyP in IBD and inspire the transformation from bench to bedside.

Experiment Support

We would like to express our gratitude to our teammates Xiaowei Li, Qingyang Zhao and Yuhan Wang. Interested in mathematics, structure simulation and programming respectively, they spare no efforts to learn modeling knowledge, communicate with each other and apply their skills to the final Four-in Model. Covering molecular simulation, mathematical models and stochastic model, they brought the team insight into polyP in design, in bacteria, in gut and in application, which concentrated on synthetase selection, bacterial growth curve, intestinal microbiome in IBD and transformation from polyP to medicine.

The results prepare the team to yield polyP, verify the design, help to explain the funcition of polyP in IBD and inspire the transformation from bench to bedside.

Human Pratice Support

We would like to thank the following people for their support in our human practices efforts:

Thanks to the persons in charge of Nanjing Lotus Environmental Protection Technology Co., LTD, who took time out of their busy schedule to accept our interview, introduced us to the development status and market demand of sewage disposal system, and provided guidance and feedbacks on our sustainable development equipment.

Thanks to PhD Xueheng Zhao from Division of pathology and laboratory medicine Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Cincinnati, Ohio, Professor Wenjie Guo and Zhi Ding from the School of Life Science of Nanjing University, Doctor Rongping Li from Tang Xian Health Center of Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province for their technical guidance on our project design. They provided new ideas during the different period of our project on background and experimental and facilitate the smooth progress of our project.

Thanks to our team members Xinyi Li, Yan Zeng, Jiaqi Gao, Guangkai An, Wenle Zhang. They used various resources to contact communities, high schools and other competition teams of major colleges and universities, completed many high-quality publicity activities, and contributed to the popularization of synthetic biology. They also actively contacted professional doctors, school professors and social enterprises, and widely listened to suggestions from various aspects. The opinions and suggestions highly promote the implementation of project results.

Thanks to our PI, Dr. Wei Wei, for his unwavering support and endless enthusiasm towards our Human Practices projects.

Design Support

Thanks to our team member Xuan Li. She is not only good at coordination but also good at design. Besides our team flags and souvenirs, she also helped to produce promotion videos for our team. To present our work better, she involved in the design of wiki pages.

Thanks to our team members Xinna Hu and Wanting Zheng. They are our team's strongest drawing support who designed exquisite team logos, self-portraits and posters for us. Additionally, they created all elements for our wiki home page and drew the flow charts for our sustainable part.

Thanks to our team members Saixi Li and Qingqing Yuan. They took an active part in designed posters for our activities. In addition, they studied and learned how to make vivid wiki pages, which provided great help for our team's final presentation.

Other Support

Thanks Piers Millett from Safety and Security committee, for patiently answering our questions about our Safety Form.

Thanks to Nympha Elisa and Ayesha Sameer, the iGEM Ambassadors, for patiently answering our questions and giving us useful suggestions at the Ambassador Calls.

Thanks to Nemanja from iGEM Headquarters, for patiently answering our questions about Additional Team Information for Jamboree event website.

Thanks to the Admissions Office of Nanjing University for providing an admissions platform for us to popularize synthetic biology.

Thanks to Team: NJMU-China. We have cooperated closely with us from the beginning of the project, and they provided valuable suggestions for our project in terms of experimentation, modeling, design and HP, and forged a deep friendship.

Thanks to NJU-China, NAU-China, CPU_China, NJtech_China, for cooperating with our team during the Meetings of Nanjing iGEM Association and give us useful suggestions.

Thanks to SUSTech-China, BUCT, SZU-China, HZAU-China, BNUZ-China, for cooperating with us writing the Intestinal Program Reference Manual.

Thanks to LZU-China, for jointly hosting an offline meetup with us.

Thanks to Nanjing_NFLS, for cooperating with us during our face-to-face education activity.

Thanks to our team leader Guantong Qi, who paid attention to the progress of each team during the whole process of the project, undertook the liaison work between the team and the college, school and the organizer of the event. He regularly organized team meetings and conducted discussions, arranged various affairs reasonably, and solved the problem together with us.

Thanks to Diya Zhang and Guangkai An, members of the presentation group. They have excellent oral English and translation skills. They have completed the recording of presentation video and the translation of various materials. They are irreplaceable in the process of promoting the project to an international platform.

Funding

First and foremost, we would like to thank Dr. Jing Zhao and Wei Wei for providing us with vital financial and intellectual support. We would also like to appreciate the school of life science, Nanjing University for the assistance to our team.
