Contributions

The wetlab work was completed by Yash Agarwal (fusion proteins), Alan Pacheco (new vector backbones), and Katie Lewis (tandem promoters). Alan also designed our wiki page. Our advisor, Traci Haddock, and our mentor, Evan Appleton, trained us in the lab and provided us troubleshooting advice throughout the project. Ariela Esmuria did the wetlab work for the Interlab Study.

Sponsors

We'd like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous support. Without the support from the following Boston University departments and corporate sponsors, we would not have been able to compete in iGEM.

Thank you very much!
