Wet Lab

Tsuruzoe Kento, Tsurumaki Kazuma, Moriyama Rintaro, Iizawa Misa, and Koyama Haruki were in charge of this. We are grateful to Prof. Akiko Satake for providing us with lab space, reagents and equipment. Furthermore, Associate Professor Yusuke Maeda gave us feedback on the genetic design. We also received advice from Professor Taizo Hanai on the feasibility of genetic circuits and how to measure the luminescence intensity of luciferase. Thank you all.

Human Practice

Tsurumaki Kazuma and Kita Haruka were in charge.
Nagaura Farm accepted our visit. There, we were able to find out the problems when our device was actually used. We also learned about the demand for our devices in the barn. In a conversation with Hiroto Tanaka of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), we clarified the problems with biosensors and provided advice on how to measure fluorescence. In a conversation with Micro Bio Factory, we were able to find further development of the project. In addition, we were able to know how synthetic personal science is recognized in Japan and opinions about education in Japan, especially doctoral programs. In a conversation with TradFit, we were able to share our thoughts on the SDGs and social issues. In a conversation with Figaro Engineering, we were able to learn about the technical requirements for gas sensors.

Wiki

The manuscript was written by Kita Ryosuke, Moriyama Rintaro, Motoyashiki Kenta, Tsurumaki Kazuma, Tsuruzoe Kento, Moriyasu Ryuki, Iizawa Misa, and Takemori Kenta. Kita Ryosuke was in charge of making the pages. And it was created with the advice of Hiromu Nishimura, who is a famous programmer at Kyushu University.

Collaborations

Iizawa Misa was in charge.
We performed collaborations with IISER_Berhampur, MIT_MAHE, iGEM Gunma, Patras, Düsseldorf, Japan Summer Meetup. We thank all the teams for their cooperation.

Video

Takemori Kenta, Sifuentes Gonzalo, Watanabe Miyo, Shima Akito considered and edited the composition of the video.

Modeling

Kenta Motoyashiki in charge. We are grateful for the cooperation of the Mathematical Biology Laboratory of Kyushu University. We would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Kohei Iwamasa and Mr. Hidekazu Murata.
