Attributions in detail

Project: the idea. We came to The St²OOL project after many brainstorming meetings including all the team. It would be impossible to define authors here: we all contributed to the design of the project.

Stability. Done by Divya Chugani (who mainly recorded the performance of the BioBricks under different conditions) and Paula Villaescusa (mainly chassis characterization and fatigue experiments).

Standardization. All the experiments were designed and conducted by Pedro Dorado and Alba Frías.

Orthogonality and functional metagenomics. Kristie Tanner led the subteam, also formed by Paula Villaescusa and Pedro Dorado.

Human Practices. Juan Faus developed the dictionary for scientists and Pedro Dorado the dictionary for law students. Both prepared the Report on Human Practices focusing on IP.

Biobricks. Pedro Dorado, Alba Frías and Divya Chugani performed all the work to amplify, clone and submit our Biobricks to the registry. Pedro also prepared most of the characterization data for the Registry.

Modeling. Performed by Ernesto Segredo and Marco Fritschi (biochemistry students) and the engineering student Xavier Molero.

Hardware & Robot. Design and construction by Xavier Molero.

Wiki. All of us!

Poster. Paula Villaescusa (watercolor) and Juan Faus (layout)

Talk. Kristie Tanner will lead this important responsibility.

Art&More. All original watercolors in the wiki, poster or talk by Paula Villaescusa. Shrek’s parody “welcome to The St²OOL” sung by Paula and Kristie Tanner. YMCA original idea by Kristie and played by all the team. Epigenetic musical interpretation of Biobrick sequences played by Kristie.

Supervision

Of all the Valencia Biocampus supervisors/advisors pool, some performed a particularly outstanding job. Their imp lication in the project as well as their email addresses in case it was required to contact them, are as follows:

Wetlab work, including standardization and orthogonality, mainly supervised by Cristina Vilanova (PhD student:cristina.vilanova@uv.es) and Juli Peretó (professor at University of Valencia and instructor. Juli.pereto@uv.es); stability and robot design supervised by Manuel Porcar (Researcher at the University of Valencia. manuel.porcar@uv.es)

Modeling. Supervised by Carlos Peña (CSIC reasercher, penagaray@gmail.com), with the collaboration of Lucas J. Morales

Human Practices. Supervised by Violeta Beltrán (violeta.beltran@biopolis.es) with the collaboration of Manuel Porcar. Lucas J. Morales supervised modelling of the patentability equation.

Communication and logistics. Juli Peretó.
