Brainstorming and research

All 13 team members participated in the brainstorming and research, under the guidance of last years’ team members. Team member Wenjun Wang came up with the original idea for the artificial organelle and Yu Wang with the original idea for the RNA guardian.

Lab work

Wet lab work was divided into two parts: artificial organelle construction and RNA device building. The organelle group consists of Wenjun Wang, Xiaodong Zhong, Qianyun Lu, Kaili Qin, Mengqi Sun. The RNA group consists of Yu Wang, Qiu Wang, Xue Sun. There are eight wet lab members in total.

Safety

Subjects on safety were discussed among the team. Safety form was finished by Mengqi Sun. Lab management was carried out by Wenjun Wang, Xiaodong Zhong and Hong Li at the first stage of the project, whom were later replaced by Yu Wang, Xue Sun and Mengqi Sun(QIBEBT).

Modeling

Dry lab member Lei Zhong established the model for the magnetic detection module, and Xu Lin built the model for the RNA guardian.

Wiki Design

Wiki was designed by Yuchen Zheng, assisted by Hong Li. Wiki design was guided by Past team member Yong Peng. We express great gratitude for his generous contribution.

Human Practice

Team OUC-China always observes active performance in the field of human practice. This year, Mengqi Sun was in Charge of human practice, and we could not have completed the immense workload without the help of Xiaodong Zhong, Wenjun Wang, Yu Wang, Qiu Wang, Xue Sun, Hong Li, adviser Li Kang and all the other members and friends that helped out.

Funding

Xue Sun handled all of the team's expenses, while Xiaodong Zhong seeked funding through various means. We thank all the guidance in financial issues given by past team member Li Kang.

We would like to thank Ocean University of China for financial fundings, Lab Center of College of Marine Life Science for our lab, and lab space in QIBEBT.
