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 devoted to achieving the infield detection using our biosensors.

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 adaptor, NahF, and did tests 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 adaptors, XylB and XylC.

XUE Haoran was responsible for all the induction and the characterization of biosensors, adaptors 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 made simulation for it. He also constructed a biosensor, DmpR and did 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 contributed to the biosensor mining program and also responsible for wiki construction. Additionally, he was responsible for the presentation of advanced equipment.

LIU Shiyu made his efforts in constructing and tuning three biosensors in E.coli, HcaR, PaaX, MhpR. 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, HpbR and XylR.

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

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

ZHANG Yihao is the art designer of the Peking 2013 iGEM team. He applied his talents to our logo, wiki, poster, PowerPoint template, booklets and team shirts. He also constructed an aromatic biosensor.

Helena Viets, as the exchange student from UCSF iGEM team, focused on 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 with 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.
