Dr. Gautam Dantas and Professor Joe Jez served as mentors during our iGEM project duration. They had weekly meeting with us and helped us troubleshoot any ideas that we had. Professor Jez also lent us lab supplies. Jonathan Hermann acted as the student advisor. He headed the weekly meetings in the early stages of the project and gave us advise on our project ideas. Bert Berla, Larry Page, and Brian Landry guided us both before the project began by helping us brainstorm and afterwards by sharing their knowledge on our model organism Synechocystis PCC 6803.
Dr. Yinjie Tang and his graduate student Arul Varman guided us on the creation of our model. They had a big hand in teaching us how to begin our model and were always there when we came across stumbling blocks.
The Biology Teaching Lab provided us with a workspace. Carol Kohring went over over safety guidelines with us and provided us with use of the autoclave and a lab of our own for the summer.
