Helping other iGEM teams

Team UT-Tokyo

We give a plasmid: BBa_K934025 to UT-Tokyo team on July 31th. HQ couldn’t send the plasmid due to out of stock. So UT-Tokyo team asked us for the plasmid. The plasmid BBa_K934025 is our past part of iGEM 2012.

Team UT-Tokyo and team Tokyo_Tech discussed about a policy of modeling. We confirmed each other how to use the software, MATLAB. We also taught each other how to determine parameters.

Team Kyoto

We transferred a plasmid: BBa_K193001 to Kyoto team on August 26th. Kyoto team tried to transform the plasmid from distribution kit, but they couldn’t make usable plasmid. So Kyoto team asked us for taking the usable plasmid. The plasmid BBa_K193001 is our past part of iGEM 2009.

Participation in exchange meetings

Japanese iGEM teams took part in a school festival held in the University of Tokyo on May 19th. Several iGEM teams shared their ideas. At the same time, we introduced synthetic biology to the general public together.

Japanese iGEM teams held friendly meeting in Tokyo Metropolitan University for sharing ideas and opinions On August 25th. In this meeting, each team introduced their project to other teams. Afterwards further discussion of the projects took place between members of different teams.
