The University of Chicago iGEM 2013 team was responsible for conducting all of the laboratory experiments involved in the project. The University of Chicago Biological Sciences Collegiate Division provided laboratory space and equipment for the iGEM team to conduct its experiments and hold meetings. Our graduate student advisors provided research experience and advice for the team to troubleshoot experiments as well as the strain of B. subtilis with pUB110, which we used for our experiments. Our faculty advisors also provided advice on how to go forward with our project and evaluated the feasibility of our project. Greiner Bio-One, New England BioLabs, and SARSTEDT provided laboratory equipment and reagents for the iGEM team to conduct its experiments.

We are grateful for the Institute for Molecular Engineering, the University of Chicago Student Government, the Dean's Fund for Student Life, and the Kron Lab for providing us with the funds needed to participate in this year's competition. Our greatest thanks!
