Collaboration and team work
Collaboration with National Polytechnic Institute
First of all, we attended to the first forum of Synthetic Biology at the National Polytechnic Institute - Interdisciplinary Professional Unit of Biotechnology (IPN - UPIBI ) on 7 and 8 August 2013 where we met various personalities of the field such as Dr. Augustino Martínez, MB José Antonio Pavón , Gerónimo Villanueva , Dr. Osvaldo Reséndiz and Dr. Pablo Padilla , among other IGEM teams . The UANL_Mty – Mexico’s iGEM team gave a presentation about what is iGEM and the challenges a team has when they perform synthetic biology, then we spoke to the audience, resolving questions and encouraging new young people to adventure into Synthetic Biology field. Currently there is a iGEM-MX collaboration network with the IPN students, since they are going to start a new participating team in the next year, we are advising and providing them parts in order to have a good start.
