Making Biobricks for Paris Bettencourt
We are honered to have been asked by the iGEM team Paris Bettencourt 2012 to provide them two Biobricks: BBa_K175027 and BBa_K175041. Those biobricks were synthesized by the iGEM team TUDelft 2010, project of which was Alkanivore. Alkanivore enables hydrocarbon degradation in aqueous environments. This year's project of Paris'team is Multiplex automated genome engineering (MAGE), a method for large-scale programming and evolution of cells.

Crash Courses with Amsterdam
Right after the new team formation, we invited the Amsterdam team to organize crash courses, which helped new members in both teams to shape the idea of what iGEM is and how the project can be achieved. Superviors from both teams gave lectures with respect to:
- Synthetic biology, iGEM, Biobricks and Registry
- Modeling
- Societal valorization
- Genetic circuit design
- Network motifs
Life Science Symposium with Cambridge
On 14 May 2012, 5th Life Science Symposium “Synthetic Biology – Redefining LIFE” was held in Delft. Our team and iGEM Cambridge 2010 team worked together to present what the iGEM competition is and to illustrate it by giving examples of our projects, odor detecting system and light emitting bacteria.
"Meeting of young minds" with UCL
Meeting of Young Minds organized by Rathenau Instituut in the context of the regional iGEM committee will be held in the evening of 5 October, aiming at the youth discussion of promise and perils of synthetic biology. UCL iGEM and our team exchanged information for our two proposals, and our subjects are finally honored.
