ZHENG Pu is the team leader of the Peking 2013 iGEM team. He mainly focused on the design of biosensor system. He was involved in team interaction and academic communication. He was also trying to design applications for our aromatic bionsensors.

SHI Hailing is the vice captain of the Peking 2013 iGEM team. She also managed the team during the team leader’s absence. She constructed a biosensor adapter, NahF, and did test for our devices. She was also responsible for the presentation of Biosensors section.

HE Shuaixin is the lab manager of the Peking 2013 iGEM this summer. Apart from the laboratory management, she made great contribution to biosensor construction, tuning of biosensors and construction of biosensor adopters, XylB and XylC.

XUE Haoran was responsible for all the induction and the characterization of biosensors, adopters and band pass filter. He also handled daily affairs of the team.

HOU Yuhang was in charge of the modeling of project. He constructed band pass filter and wrote simulation for the band pass filter. He also constructed a biosensor and did a part of test for this biosensor.

PAN Xingjie is a member of the modeling group in the Peking 2013 iGEM team and he was involved in the construction of band pass filter. He greatly attributed to the biosensor mining program and he was also responsible for wiki construction. He was in charge of the presentation of the Band pass filter.

LIU Shiyu made his efforts in constructing several biosensors in E.coli and the tuning of biosensors. He is also involved in the construction of band pass filter.

WANG Huan is the financial manager of the team. She was responsible for financial affairs and travel arrangements. She also contributed to the construction of two aromatic biosensors.

CUI Can was involved in construction of band pass filter, and she also contributed to human practice.

LIANG Jing was in charge of human practice. She managed the human practice and some travel arrangement. She also helped SHI Hailing to manage the laboratory.

ZHANG Yihao is the art designer of the Peking 2013 iGEM team. He exercised his talents on our logo, wiki, poster, PowerPoint template, booklet and team shirts. He also constructed a aromatic biosensor.

Helena Viets made a great contribution at the first time when she came to Peking iGEM. She focused the construction of several biosensors and constructed a RBS library for the biosensors to tune their behavior.

We especially thank Dr. Chunbo Lou for providing us the plasmid of φR73δ and CI.

We highly appreciate Prof. de Lorenzo, Prof. Shingler and Prof. Van de Meer’s generous material assistance:
We thank professor Victor de Lorenzo for he had given our TOL pWW0 plasmid in Pseudomonas putida mt-2 and pCON924 with XylR5 on it.
We thank professor Shingler for her twice generous help. Her plasmid containing DmpR was used in our program.
We also thank professor Van de Meer for giving our HbpR coding sequence and promoter.
