  • We would like to thank Dr. Shubhashini Chandrasekharan, Dr. Robert Cook-Deegan, and Professor Arti Rai for taking the time to be interviewed for our human practices discussion. Their insights and advice on how to pursue our project were extremely valuable to its success.




In addition, we would like to thank the following groups for providing support here at Duke University:

  • The Pratt School of Engineering and the Department of Biomedical Engineering support Dr. Charles Gersbach, as well as M.B., C.K., H.K, and A.R. The Pratt School of Engineering provides a Pratt Fellowship to C.K.
  • The Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) supports Dr. Nicolas Buchler, Dr. Charles Gersbach, and C.K.
  • The Department of Biology provides support to Dr. Nicolas Buchler and M.F.
  • The Department of Biophysics provides support to Dr. Nicolas Buchler and J.Z.
  • The Department of Biochemistry provides support to C.C.
  • The Duke Undergraduate Research Support Office is a supporter of our program, and has provided some travel funds to our members to attend the iGEM Regional Jamboree. -The Undergraduate Research Support Office also sponsors the Howard Hughes Research Fellows Program, which provided a fellowship to M.F.




Finally, we wish to thank the following funding sources for allowing our project to succeed.

  • The Lord-Alstadt Foundation has provided generous funding for this iGEM project and we thank them for their support.
  • C.G. is supported by the National Institutes of Health Director’s New Innovator Award (DP2OD008586) and a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award (CBET-1151035).
