NYMU Taipei/Regular meeting/October 5

From 2007.igem.org

  • Final size and design checking of our T-shirt for the jamboree. Total 50 pieces.
  • The hotels which iGEM provided were all booked out. The remain are all very expensive ones.
    • We are looking for a pansion-like hotel, which provides only 3 2-bed room and 4 single room. But we have 12 participants. Try asking them if there is more beds or rooms available.
  • The flight tickets were booked OK.
  • Many participants the our US visa smoothly. Others are on the application process.
  • Lab progress
    • part assembly
      • part test
      • system 1 almost OK, system 2 on the way.
      • try connect them
    • Test the systems 
      • test each system individually? or test them together?
    • Test the reaction of mammalian cell to insulin:
      • Reaction peaks at 10 minutes
      • Medium for culturing E. coli does not hurt mammalian cell.
      • Previous experiments about testing the reaction of insulin use the glucose concentration of 25mM, about 400mg/dl in serum. We are looking for if there is also significant glucose change at the glucose level of around 5mM or 100mg/dl to more fit the normalized serum glucose level.
