Sheffield: Sharan, Mustafa, Ben L and Erika

Manchester: Catherine, James and Isobel
 +
 +
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
 +
 +
Tracks - health/medicine, food, policy and practices

Sheffield: Ben L
 +
Valencia_UPV: Jose, Lucia, Alba?
 +
 +
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.
