Collaboration between North Carolina A&T and The University of Texas at Austin
North Carolina A&T and The University of Texas at Austin formed a joint team this year as an inter-university collaboration through BEACON[http://beacon-center.org/].
Throughout the course of the spring and summer, our team has been pleased to work with the IGEM team at NCA&T University. Our goal has been to help guide NCA&T through the competition. By maintaining communication, we were able to explain some of the technicalities of the IGEM competition and provide advice on how to recruit team members, brainstorm project ideas, effectively develop and manage projects, maintain reasonable project timelines, make a wiki, etc.
During the summer, a few of our team members were fortunate enough to visit NCA&T. Workshops were held to teach NCA&T lab techniques such as PCR, sterile technique, gel electrophoresis, gel extraction, and plating technique. Other workshops included Geneious tutorials and research techniques. We were glad that NCA&T members were able to visit the UT campus as well. We held various workshops and showed them around our lab. One of the most important aspects of their visit was that they were able to see our team stucture and the way we function.
NCA&T now has the insight they need to create a solid team for next year’s IGEM competition. Working together has been a rewarding experience for the UT/NCA&T IGEM team and we are glad to say we now have friends in Greensboro, North Carolina.
