Team:Bielefeld-Germany/Collaboration
From 2012.igem.org
Collaboration with the iGEM Team from the [http://www.sdu.dk/en/ University of Southern Denmark]
Together we talked with a lot of people, showed microorganisms and isolated DNA from different fruits to educate about the basics of modern life sciences. We also had organized some games for kids (see here: [Street Science in Bielefeld]).
On Sunday both teams presented their projects and after that we had a long discussion trying to find solutions for each other’s problems in lab. We further discussed both our modeling approaches and how to improve it.
Main discussion points were:
- To find a solution for our problem with the expression of some laccases
- To try to find mechanisms like kill-switches and intracellular regulations to improve the safety of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and thus to promote the possibility of the use of GMOs in an open system (like in humans)
- To look for similarities in modeling
- To try to help each other with the wiki-design
Of course, we also used the evenings to get to know each other and to have some fun. The top-priority when getting in touch with german culture is tasting a small sip of beer and listening to [http://www.davidhasselhoff.com/ David Hasselhoff].
