Collaboration

SHSID & Fujian_United

We host meet-up with a 2021 high school iGEM Team, Feverve Factory, whose team members are from Shanghai High School, International Division. They have been studying the feasibility of enhancing the productivity of putrescine through cell factory engineering.



The core issues we discussed in our meet-up event included two parts:

1) Design of peripheral goods design and pricing strategy. Team Feverve Factory has started their project much earlier than we did, thus, they shared many useful tips with us, especially about their product list and how to decide prices for each product. They suggested that since peripheral goods would be used for fundraising activities, pricing and sales strategies should be considered from clients' psychological perspective. According to their suggestions, we determined our product list, e.g. we have chosen to sell umbrellas during the next rainfall, and we would also offer parasols after the deluge. Meanwhile, the pricing of all peripheral goods was determined.

2) Experiment on Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Since Team Feverve Factory has also used Saccharomyces cerevisiae in their experiments. We also consulted them about useful experience in handling Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They told us that we should have a quite clear experiment timeline when dealing with Saccharomyces cerevisiae because of it usually takes longer time than Escherichia coli. Thanks to their suggestions, we tried to re-organize our experiment timeline.

Collaboration with IBD Distinguisher (Official Team Name:NOFLS_YZ)

IBD Distinguisher mainly focuses on developing an effective biosensor to help with diagnosing IBD (Inflammtory Bowel Disease).

What did we collaborate on?

We held an online meet-up event, in which we introduced the research topic to each other. IBD Distinguisher shared with us their challenges encountered in experiments. We shared our experience in experiment habits and project planning with them. Meanwhile, we provided each other with some suggestions on how to preapre Wiki documentation.
