Team members Carlos Meza and Eddie Cano prepared a short talk explaining both the scope of ITESM CEM’s project, and the structure and importance of iGEM as a competition. At noon, it was all prepared, the seats were all taken, and ITESM CEM’s team was standing at the oval auditorium, at IPN’s Polytechnic Unit for Enterprises Development (UPCDE).

The assistance consisted of mainly students from Elementary school, Junior High school, High school and Undergraduate students. As a tea, we gave the conference "Synthetic Biology" in which we talked about atherosclerosis and its implications in mexican health. </p><br> | ||

This work was the most complex one, still some teams may not find it insightful since there are many ways in which teams stay motivated.</p><br> |

These studies are undertaken to generate data by which the hazards and risks to users, consumers and third parties, including the |

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;">As set by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulations Agency (MHRA), that is the actual definition of GLP. This handbook will aid students and instructors in the application of such standards. Even though it is not as thorough as the WHO GLP Handbook, it is a neat approach into the environment and work policies that must be followed in order to assure a quality procedure. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;"> We have detected that Parts Registry's web page could be hard to use for every new iGEMer or person in the whole world, the handbook named <b>"Guideline Into iGEM’s Standardized Parts"</b> was written to help these people to use the Registry Web page as easy as possible.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;"> Among this section, we have talked about manuals regarding GLP and parts registry. Nonetheless, | ||
+ | |||
+ | we decided to also elaborate a handbook that | ||
+ | |||
+ | includes all points regarding the creation of an iGEM team so as future teams have the necessary | ||
+ | |||
+ | tools to work efficiently: <b>The iGEM Team Handbook</b> | ||
+ | |||
+ | When it comes to the integration of an iGEM team, there are many factors that should be taken | ||
+ | |||
+ | into consideration, in order to make the experience as rich as possible. It is the purpose of this | ||
+ | |||
+ | handbook to give future iGEM teams the necessary advices. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First of all, it is of critical importance that the team members have the will of entering the | ||
+ | |||
+ | contest, since it is will power that will lead to successful results and a life changing experience. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <br>Through this handbook, users will be able to discover and unravel several tips and advices worth | ||
+ | |||
+ | following, since it has been done through the experience of two different teams, who have | ||
+ | |||
+ | undergone several obstacles, but who have, at the same time overcome them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Along this past year, these teams have taken several measures to create a better work | ||
+ | |||
+ | environment and to obtain better and more efficient results. However, by reading this handbook, | ||
+ | future teams will not have to take this measures when things are not going that well, on the | ||
- | + | contrary, they will be able to apply them before it all starts, this way they will save a lot of time | |
- | + | ||
- | + | and obtain the best possible results.</p> | |
