2013 USTC_CHINA iGEM Chronology

    2012

  • 2012

  • Dec.15th2012

    Annual recruiting season We brought a large number of inquisitive minds
    to USTC igem team.

    2013

  • Jan.26th2013

    Systematic training begin Senior team members gave systematic training to the fresh
    and assigned responsibilities for every individual.
  • Feb.17th2013

    Second training course We held a simulated iGEM competition.
    Everyone was serious about the task he or she received,
    and gained a lot from the simulated competition.
    In the end, the team leader was elected by us.
  • Mar.2nd2013

    Grouping and brain storming All the members were divided into several groups
    according to their specialty and interest,
    and were motivated in the mobilization meeting.
    Everyone was ready for the coming activities.
  • Mar.30th2013

    Preliminary identified
    several projects Algae produce H2, natural competence
    and magnetosome application
    were preliminary identified as the promising projects.
  • May.15th2013

    SDI Conference Through detailed discussion, we selected
    optimization of blue-green algae produce H2 as our subject.
  • May.31th2013

    Halmatogenesis A recently published paper had already done
    what we prepared to do, and we had to start to
    search another competitve project.
  • June.5th2013
