Dr. Kuzmin provided us with lab space and gave us feedback on the project through the competition, from the ideation stage to the presentation stage.
Dr. Barnabé’s expertise in wastewater treatment plans and his research in the use of algae/microorganism in WWT helped us refocus the implementation of our project. He gave us essential insight into what designs would be more appropriate for a WWT.
Designed originally for his engineering students and adapted later by iGEM, Dr. Brandiff Caron introduced us to the RTTA (Real Time Technology Assessment) Tool, which allows us to avoid mistakes before they’re made. Through a series of questions, it allows us to focus on the social, ethical, legal and environmental aspects of our project design and its implementation into the real world.
Pamela supervised us in the lab, specifically helping us with new techniques.
Dr. Villemur highlighted challenges such as government regulations and the stigma behind GMOs. He suggested we look into industrial wastewater plant applications versus agricultural implementation. He also advised against the use of two different plasmids.
While making our promotional video, we sought his help to make animations for our video.
