The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented challenge to XMU-China this year. Our school shut down the laboratory for more than two weeks at the beginning of October. This announcement dramatically influenced the process of our experiments. We’ve tried our best to present the best as we can and hope it can inspire the iGEMers in the future.
The iGEMers of XMU-China are responsible for all the iGEM work this year, which include idea, lab work, wiki, paperwork and so on. Also, we communicate and collaborate with many iGEM teams this year. All the work done by our team members and help received from others are shown below.
