Contributions |

The wetlab work was completed by Yash Agarwal (fusion proteins), Alan Pacheco (new vector backbones), and Katie Lewis (tandem promoters). Our advisor, Traci Haddock, and our mentor, Evan Appleton, trained us in the lab and provided us troubleshooting advice throughout the project. All team members and advisors contributed to the wiki. Alan designed the wiki framework. Ariela Esmurria, a high school student volunteer, did the wetlab work for the Interlab Study.
