Team:StanfordBrownSpelman/Apply

Join SBS iGEM 2015!

Thank you for your interest in Stanford-Brown-Spelman (SBS) iGEM! We are continuing our transcontinental collaboration this upcoming year and looking for undergrads (including Class of 2015) to join the 2015 team! Spend a summer working at the Synthetic Biology Initiative at NASA Ames Research Center and present your work at the world's premiere synthetic biology competition! Opportunities exist for all kinds of molecular biology work, computational biology, mathematical modeling, engineering, community outreach, and much more. Develop incredible research and lab skills as you manage your own research project! If you are a student at either of our universities and are interested in participating, please follow the recruitment instructions for your location. We look forward to your applications!

Biomaterial Production

Tim Cooper at University of Houston for Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Jean-Marie Dimandja at Spelman College for discussions of 2D GC Analysis.

Collaboration: We collaborated with Team Imperial by assisting one another with cellulose-production protocols. We sent them protocols for transforming G. hansenii and we evaluated their protocols for cellulose processing.

Wasp Proteins & Material Waterproofing

Dave Kavanaugh at the California Academy of Sciences for helping us trap wasps.

Durrell Kapan at the California Academy of Sciences for advising us on wasp transcriptome and genome analysis.

Michael Sheehan at UC Berkeley for helping us identify wasp species.

Gary Wessel and his lab staff at Brown University for their help with peptide mass fingerprinting.

Policy and Human Practices

Jim Brass, Kevin Reynolds, and Bob Dahlgren for consulting with us about building, flying, and using UAVs.

Mark Segal at the EPA for his input on the regulations surrounding the release of recombinant biological materials into the environment.

Outreach

DNA 2.0 for their advice, sponsorship, and facility tour.

Building the UAV

Ecovative for the production of our mycelium drone components.

AgiC for providing us with silver ink pens for producing drawn circuits and for printing circuits on our cellulose-based biomaterials.
