Action Day

Logo of LMU-Munich iGEM team

The LMU Munich joined us on the Action Day. Our team organised the Information booth. Our team organised the permission of the city of Munich, and we payed the fee for it. Besides that we organised all the booklets and created the spezific flyer. The LMU organised the tables and the movable walls.

Mentioned in her Diploma thesis

Jessica Ebner is a student at the University of Stuttgart. she contacted us at a very early stage of the projected and asked us if it is possible to take our project as an example for an iGEM Team. Her diploma thesis with the title "Engineering of Life –What is Synthetic Biology and how does it operate?" She came and visited us as you can see in the picture. We explained our project to her and she got a login to our internal wiki. In her thesis ther are ten page about iGEM and our team.

Abstract

This diploma thesis aims at reflecting the cross-disciplinary field of Synthetic Biology as an emerging engineering technology. Initially this requires a concise analysis of the historical development of the term Synthetic Biology as well as the recent progresses concerning DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies. Furthermore this comprises the exemplification of the engineering based approach to Synthetic Biology. With reference to the several major categories of Synthetic Biology, this thesis theoretically analyzes the distinct areas of focus and specifies those insights with applied-oriented examples. In addition, this work describes the basic principles of the unique International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition and focuses on the importance of an innovative contribution made by the iGEM team of undergraduate students from the Technical University of Munich. Eventually this thesis conducts a critical evaluation of both, the internal strengths and weaknesses of Synthetic Biology and the chances and risks which the synthetic biology community will likely to be faced with.

Part from her thesis

Here we have a part from her thesis about Synthtic Biologie and the opportunites of it. If you understand German you can take a look here File:TUM Diplomathesis.pdf Besides that we got her final presentation, this is in English. File:TUM finalpresenation.pdf

Providing our "Original Bavarian Collaboration Medal"

For the response of our [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/B8LZNXQ survey on standardization of BioBrick part descriptions] we provided all the participants with a small badge (shown on the left) for the collaboratin page of their wiki to show that they contributed with their opinion to our attempt to improve the usability of BioBricks in the future.
Additionally we will raffle a typical Bavarian present among all teams completing our survey.
Number of participants: 77
Number of different teams: to determine

Contribution to "iGEM Memes" on Facebook

During spare time in the lab, the creative minds of our team submitted two pictures to the facebook page created by the team from Stanford-Brown
