Team:LMU-Munich/Collaborations
The LMU-Munich team is exuberantly happy about the great success at the World Championship Jamboree in Boston. Our project Beadzillus finished 4th and won the prize for the "Best Wiki" (with Slovenia) and "Best New Application Project".

Collaborations
We are collaborating with the following iGEM teams (in alphabetical order):
Cambridge: Cambridge also works with B. subtilis spores. We keep contact to help each other out if either of us encounters problems.
Groningen: The team from Groningen also works with B. subtilis. We sent them our new parts that we designed for our BacillusBioBrickBox. Groningen could directly use them for their cloning and we got some useful feedback about our parts.
TU Munich: We worked closely with the TU-Munich to implement the Munich SynBio Day. Because we are located in the same city, when we heard that the TU lost some important BioBricks from the Spring distribution in September, we gladly provided our aliquots to them, saving their team project time.
UCL: The UCL iGEM team, visited us in Munich during the CAS SynBio Conference. When the conference ended, they stayed one day longer to help us with modeling. This afforded us the opportunity to explain to the modelers from London our project in person so that they could think of potential ways to model our project.
Wageningen: iGEM Wageningen works on the modification of virus-like particles (VLPs) as interesting platforms for vaccine production and/or site-specific drug delivery. So both of us want to display proteins, Wageningen on their VLP, and our team on spores. We think about showing the functionality of both of our systems by binding the one to the other.
We are still looking for other teams that work with Bacillus subtilis to test our new BioBricks. Check our list of parts and email us (igem@bio.lmu.de) in case there are any helpful BioBricks for you.
