Project Design

From previous research in ecological policies, Youran Zhao proposed working to tackle the local and global problem of Harmful Algal Blooms. Qinyi Wang then consulted researchers at Southeast University, School of Public Health, on the potential health effects of algae toxins. Meanwhile, the team launched investigation on the public awareness of algae pollution. Qinyi Wang and Youran Zhao finalized the project design of ‘Microcystin Terminator’.

Acknowledgement

Primary PI, Qin Ding

Dr. Ding kindly helped us transform our initial idea into reality, assisted us in designing experiments, and instructed us with professional techniques. He taught us lab safety and supervised our procedures in all stages of our experiments. Thanks to him, naïve high schoolers fell in love with the academic rigor of synthetic biology.

Secondary PI, Juan Zhang

Prof. Zhang helped us shape our project focus in the earlier stage by educating us on health impacts of algae, especially microcystin pollution. She provided us with the lab space at Southeast University. Thanks to her, our understanding of microscopic biology was expanded to the public health level.

Mentor, Yanfeng Liu

We were luckily paired with our mentor, Yanfeng, by iGEM mentorship program. He helped our novice teammates navigate the exciting (and overwhelming sometimes) season, and provided valuable feedback on experiment design, wiki structure, and presentation logics. Thanks to him, we were able to present iGEM 2022 with our best work.
