Earlier this year all Tec de Monterrey campuses participating in iGEM 2022, Tec CCM, Tec CEM, Tec Chihuahua, Tec Monterrey and Tec Guadalajara, joined forces and established the iGEM Tec Partnership.

In this partnership we shared ideas, helped in the design stage by exchanging information and investigation and gave feedback on our projects. We also created different activities and established several collaborations between us. For the lab, we constantly helped each other sharing reagents and materials and solving experimental issues that came up.

We formed a strong alliance that went beyond iGEM scope, because we also helped and guided each other with the several customs and delivery issues that we all encountered. Additionally, we also brainstormed ideas for the fundraising of our projects.

Tec Chihuahua and Tec Guadalajara gathered during the season several times to discuss several things. Tec Chihuahua mentored Tec Guadalajara with identifying the different characters and creating the chain value for the project, in addition to this mentoring they also guided Tec Guadalajara through the process of developing the mathematical model for the project. Both teams worked together to implement Tec Guadalajara’s proposal of an antibiotic collection box in Chihuahua campus.

In lab matters, Tec-Chihuahua verified the overexpression of EryK in an SDS gel.

Student leaders from both teams constantly gathered and communicated to help each other solve customs and delivery issues that occurred during the season. As well as brainstorming ideas for fundraising.
