June: First Steps

After many meetings Dr. Raul Cuero, Lina Sanchez and Leopoldo Pelaez pro. found a laboratory where we could do our microbiologic, genetic and computational work. The Universidad Agraria de Colombia opened their doors of theirs facilities and biology and chemistry laboratories for the beginning of our project.

Mid-June we were introduced to the Universidad Agraria as the Colombia IGEM team 2007. We met the administration, the instructors and the logistics that were going to help us throughout this process. We were surrounded by people willing to work and help.
