iGEM Collaborations

We are working closely with the Wellesley Desyne software team this year.

On June 3 and 4, we hosted the Wellesley team for a two day workshop. On June 3, the BU team reviewed some fundamental biology and synthetic biology concepts and held a Eugene tutorial.

On June 4, both the Wellesley and BU teams presented their iGEM projects to each other and provided constructive feedback. The BU team also held a wet lab tour.

On June 14, we traveled to Wellesley's campus to continue discussing our projects. The BU team broke up into three small groups and met with each Wellesley project team who described their project and tested out some of their initial software. Later, we held an open discussion where each Wellesley project group discussed the feedback and suggestions they received from earlier in the day.

Corporate Collaborations

We are collecting large quantities of characterization data from our flow cytometry experiments. To analyze this data, we have been working closely with Raytheon BBN Technologies and utilizing their BBN Synthetic Biology Tools.
