Who did what

Winter quarter marked the beginning of participation for this year's team for both students and advisors alike. Advisors helped students to familiarize themselves with the intricacies of synthetic biology by recommending published scientific papers and holding weekly meetings. In addition, students also familiarized themselves with previous year's Washington iGEM projects and gave presentations about them. During spring quarter, the team progressed into giving another round of presentations in which published scientific papers concerning synthetic biology were the topics of interest. Students, being well prepared and acquainted with the inner workings of iGEM and synthetic biology, then brainstormed and chose their projects with the guidance of advisors. The team participated in UW Engineering Discovery Days in which Students shared synthetic biology concepts with budding young scientists and educators alike. During the summer, students worked diligently on their chosen experiments while accepting counsel from both advisors and faculty.

The work on this wiki is solely the work of iGEM students and does not reflect the work of any host lab, advisor, or instructor involved in iGEM.

-The teams were assembled during our winter quarter. During this term, we went around to classes and had weekly meetings to introduce students to synthetic biology through a series of guest lectures. During the spring, students participated in brainstorming projects related to the sponsoring Faculty advisors' labs (Baker and Klavins) and came up with the project they wanted to carry out. Students also planned and participated in community outreach events where we taught the local public about synthetic biology. Over the summer, students completed all of the experimental work, but worked closely with both graduate students and faculty advisors to plan the most pertinent experiments and make the most of our limited time.
