| + | Conclusion | ||
| + | Very unclear and unhelpful; couldn’t tell if they were holding back on information or just didn’t know themselves | ||
| + | - Unlikely to collaborate | ||
| + | |||
| + | Wet labs and assays - very unclear, have emailed to ask for a clarification document | ||
| + | Making an E. coli to absorb glucose | ||
| + | Detects levels of CRP (I think) | ||
| + | Riboswitch to respond to high glucose concentrations | ||
| + | Constitutive promoter | ||
| + | Wanted to collaborate on a potential lipid uptake system; they have no part for this and sounded as though they wanted us to give them one as we mentioned lipid uptake as a potential development in the future for reuse/energy - not a likely option as we have no time or need with our new product | ||
| + | GFP used in the assays, checking riboswitch activity in response to glucose levels | ||
| + | |||
| + | Modelling - biological modelling of effects on cell, not useful | ||
| + | |||
| + | HP - don’t really understand what they are doing, didn’t make sense as the ideas don’t gel; might be holding back? | ||
| + | Did outreach at an open day; didn’t really say what and how they are using this | ||
| + | Impact report - interviewing professors and surgeons from med school, incorporating sociological theory, speaking to companies for product development (yoghurt/food implementation), analysing survey results - we flagged this as there was no ethics or consent, they are now making this online and will email the link | ||

| + | |||
| + | Overall there was slight difficulties in communication, possibly due to language barrier but more likely due to glitchy skype. Agreed to continue further communication by email. | ||
| + | Explanation of the sheffield project, mainly overview of science (BioBricks, proteins created) and product design type stuff - very brief | ||
| + | Valencia explain their project: Creating plants which produce sexual pheromones to induce mating disruption in moth species, avoiding the damage caused by larvae. | ||
| + | Talked about science collaboration: Valencia seemed to think we would create bacteria that would be secreting lipids (and not lipase), was suggested that they synthesise a lipid and we catabolise it, agreed this would be pointless | ||
| + | Valencia did not know where they stood with regards to modelling | ||
| + | HP Collaboration would potentially be more fruitful - Valencia making a survey to distribute (possibly to farmers?), talked about the possibility of exchanging our surveys, survey should be produced by the end of the week | ||
| + | Valencia willing to collaborate on Laboratory Notation System, would create protocols for procedures in plant sciencey things. | ||
