| |
− | <h3 id="7">Team: Cornell</h3>
| |
− | <p>We have contacted the Cornell iGEM team in the summer of 2021 and have been keeping in touch frequently.
| |
− | We
| |
− | set up online sub-team meetings with Cornell every two weeks and have helped each other with different
| |
− | elements of our projects along the way. </p>

| |

| |
− | <p>Firstly, the Cornell team has expressed their interest in making a survey of their own in the future.
| |
− | Therefore, we have also shared our survey protocol and experience in survey setting with the Cornell
| |
− | team.
| |
− | <br><br>
| |
− | Moreover, we invited the Cornell iGEM team to shoot a short video to introduce the iGEM competition and
| |
− | contents of their project— Collatrix. We have displayed their video during our educational sharing
| |
− | session
| |
− | with the Grade 7 and 8 students of GT College for them to learn more about iGEM.

| |
− | <p>
| |
− | On top of that, the Cornell team has invited us to make a short video detailing our project and what iGEM
| |
− | in
| |
− | high school is like. They have shown our video in their HOSA learning seminars. The video was shown to
| |
− | teens
| |
− | aged 14-17 to hopefully encourage them to be open-minded about participating in iGEM while still in high
| |
− | school.

| |
− | Besides, we’ve helped with their product development team to design a code for the bioreactor. The task
| |
− | is to implement an exponential feeding system of sucrose which is mimicked using motors controlled by an
| |
− | Arduino. At the end of the day, they made adaptations to the code to fit their hardware setup.

| |
− | <p>Lastly, we had a troubleshooting meeting with the Cornell wet lab team. Our research team had
| |
− | difficulties
| |
− | purifying the protein chimera, and we could see a lot of bands in our SDS-PAGE result. We sent our
| |
− | protocol
| |
− | for protein purification to the Cornell wet lab team, and scheduled a meeting to troubleshoot and find
| |
− | solutions to this problem. In the meeting, Cornell suggested that the problem may lie on our wash buffer
| |
− | or
| |
− | loading dye. In addition, our chimera may be more sensitive to cleavage and break during the SDS-PAGE
| |
− | procedure. The Cornell wet lab team suggested we use DTT as the loading buffer.
