<h3>Discovery Festival</h3>

We organized a iGEM stand on the Discovery Festival in the Netherlands with collaboration from 3 other iGEM teams in the Netherlands. More information can be found on [[Team:TU-Eindhoven/Human_Practices|the public outreach page]].</td></tr>

We organized an iGEM workshop on the Discovery Festival in the Netherlands in collaboration with 3 other Dutch iGEM teams: <span class="lightblue">Amsterdam, Groningen and Wageningen_UR</span>. To cooperate in this large project, the 4 teams met a couple of times on different locations in the Netherlands. Besides these meetings, we discussed a lot during several Skype-meetings. We will take our visitors on a tour in our provisional laboratory, where they will learn about the process of genetic modification. The festival will take place in 3 cities, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven, and over 5000 visitors are expected. Hopefully, this will <span class="lightblue">inspire</span> other teams in upcoming years to combine forces in reaching out to the public. More information can be found on [[Team:TU-Eindhoven/Human_Practices|the public outreach page]].</td></tr>

<h3>Collaborations</h3>
 +
We met all Dutch iGEM teams during a <span class="lightblue">symposium</span> in the first week of the summer break. Furthermore, we posted <span class="lightblue">two offers on the NTNU-Trondheim Matchmaker</span>, we helped the teams of Queens_Canada and Trieste with their computational models and we came up with 'tips and tricks' for new iGEM teams for the team of Cinvestav. Just before the Regional Jamboree, the Dutch teams will meet again during a <span class="lightblue">symposium in Eindhoven</span>, where every team can rehearse their final presentation. Some German and Belgian teams were also invited to this symposium. See our <html><a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU-Eindhoven/Collaborations">collaborations page</a></html>.</td></tr>

<h3>Model</h3>
 +
A sensitivity analysis is performed to a <html><a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU-Eindhoven/LEC/ModellingFirst">basic calcium model</a></html>, first used by the iGEM team of Valencia in 2009, so we found out which <span class="lightblue">parameters</span> are <span class="lightblue">most sensitive</span>. Furthermore, we made an <html><a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU-Eindhoven/Modeling">extended calcium model</a></html>, in which the kinetics of the calcium homeostasis, voltage-gated calcium channels and GECO proteins are taken into account. By combining these three characteristics, we created a model for a <span class="lightblue">completely new system</span>.</td></tr>

<h3>Our yeast cells</h3>

In the lab, we <span class="lightblue">created</span> three kinds of <html><a href=" https://2012.igem.org/Team:TU-Eindhoven/LEC/Lab">yeast cells</a></html>, containing both the channel proteins CCH1 and MID1 and a red, green or blue GECO calcium sensor.</td></tr>

<h3>Challenge in working with yeast cells</h3>
 +
By choosing a yeast cell as the basis for our project, we created a challenge for ourselves. Most iGEM work is done with E. coli and relatively few projects focus on yeast. Therefore less knowledge is available and <span class="lightblue">few compatible BioBricks<sup>TM</sup></span> have been developed. On the other hand, it creates a greater opportunity for us to <span class="lightblue">contribute to the Registry</span>. Also, our project is focused on a system in which a respond to <span class="lightblue">exogenous stimuli</span> is important, whereas many previous iGEM projects focus on intracellular processes. Again, we hope we created new knowledge which is usable for upcoming teams.
