Achievements.

As the first team from the University of Oslo participating in this competition our main focus was to get to know the principles behind iGEM and all the different aspects of the competition as much as planning and do the project. The human practices were also looked on as one of our most important aspects because this idea of biological engineering is completely new and unknown to most people in Oslo – we changed that!

We are proud of our communication work. We have written articles published in different journals, held presentations with different levels of scientific content, got interviewed by journalists - and managed to deal with difficult situations happening when dealing with the press.

Our Team, UiOslo Norway with the project microOrganizer fulfill the criteria for the bronze medal:

The team has been registrered. Se our official team profile.

We have submitted our judging form.

Our team wiki is completed. You are reading it now :)

We are looking forward to presenting our work at the Giant Jamboree in Boston, both with a poster and a talk.

Our team page includes descriptions of what each team member has done, and the lab notebook and events page specifies who has done what. In the acknowledgement page we thank and attribute all non-student contributions to the project.

The new BioBricks: "Beta-galactosidase subunit Ω" and "signaling peptide" has been made, sequenced, registered and sent in to the iGEM registry.

Our biggest achievement is still that we, as a group of 7 students, have planned and completed an iGEM project.
