Who we are?
Our team was made up of 19 members. All the students came from grade10 or grade11. Besides, there were also two biology teachers , one chemistry teacher joined our team. All we had in common was the deep love and interest in biology. Of course, everyone in our group must be fond of hands-on experiment and biological knowledge. We have made our team’s decision on the project. Although sometimes the procedure is very troublesome and we have to do some frustrating works, nobody complains or gives up. We really enjoy the process of finishing the project, not the consequence. Everyone aspire to the happiness of the groupwork , the communication, the cooperation. And we prefer to design a synthetic bacteria which is useful to human’s daily life.
Our weekly activity is on Tuesday and Wednesday. The funniest 2 days at school. Hope everything will be favourable during the next step of our working.
Instructors
Sophia
I have majored in molecular biology for doctor degree in Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and published the paper about UV radiation-responsive proteins in rice Leaves by a proteomic analysis in academic journal: Plant Cell and Physiology. IGEM competition is interesting for me and my students. The process for preparing the competition is hardly, but funny, happy for us, which improves the ability of students, and promotes friendship between them. I like IGEM!
Team idea
During the early days, almost everyone in our team came up with many ideas about synthetic biology. Some of them are devoted to improve or protecte the environment. Others tend to detect and induce. At last , after our discussion, everybody thought that Lydia’s project about the UV was more available and easy to implement. So everyone is dedicated to studying the UV intensity and doing research.
Qilu
Hi!
I'm the Chemistry & Computer instructor of this team.It's my honor to work with Sophia and these accomplished students.
Students
Abby
I am outgoing and I am ready to make friends with everyone I meet. I like travelling, watching movies as well as reading books.
As the captain of the team, I hope we can work together and improve ourselves’ ability. And I hope everyone can learn something for this meaningful and special experience.
My idea:ocean acidate.
First, I suggested preventing ocean acidate by looking for an E. coli which would attract carbon dioxide and change color. Because the ocean is becoming more acidic due to the dissolved carbon dioxide. If carbon dioxide continues to be emitted at the current rate, then the 22 century, the PH value of the oceans will decline 0.5. Such a drastic change will bring greatly affect to marine, which includes the deaths of a large number of creatures, especially the coral reef. So I said that we can sprinkled the ideal E.coli into sea, these bacteria can quickly absorb carbon dioxide and floating to the surface of the sea. Noticed the apparent color, scientists can pay more attention to the affected area and make appropriate measures.
Lydia
Brith：09.01.1997
Hobby：surfing on the internet（watch Korean variety），Photography，guitar
Personality: optimistbut a little bit shy
Motto: Misfortune may be an actual blessing
My ideas: a bacteria to detect UV level & a bacteria for people helping them to express their emotion
Idea 1:
The bacteria can pass the test to different levels of color. Just set the UV index 5 as the boundary, less than equal to 5 bacteria can be red, more than 5 be green. People can hang the bacteria product out door or hang it on the bag. The bacteria are not in direct contact with the human body, so there is no damage to people.
Idea 2:
This product has the following two parts, the first part is a group of bacteria can be implanted in the body, after implantation into the human body, this group of bacteria can feel all the information in your body, then they will send this information to the second part of the main information -- bacteria, the main information of bacteria as those bacteria population, through different information transfer from bacteria may reflect different colors, so people can directly observed through the glass bottle color to see a friend mood.
Jane
I’m 16. I’m living in Beijing. I like to meet new friends. Sometimes my friends think I’m a little bite crazy. But do not scientists have a little crazy? Ha! Just for fun. I like biology very much. Tennis is my favorite sport. My favorite tennis player is Novak Djokovic. I think if we have a dream we have to strive for it.
My Idea:detect pesticide residues.
Use of new synthetic gene of E. coli to detect pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables are exceeded. Implanted fluorescent protein in E. coli, and make a detector connected thereto. If pesticide residues exceeding the fluorescent protein start fluoresce. Fruits and vegetables through the water soaked into the cell to detect whether excessive. If this study success can replace some of the market of " Pesticide residue speed measuring device " can make use of people to save time and money.
Qi Yue
As a senior high student, I was born in September 1995. I am a personality person , you can see it from my motto. my motto is ”I am I ,me myself , never be the same as others” there isn’t any deeply meaning , I think the existence of every person have their own reasons, as a extraordinary part in the world. The signification is simply isn’t it ? I am a left-hander, it always be recognized as a wiseman. as I growing up I never consistent with that, but think left-hander is a sort of person that always getting brainstorm and for others, they think we are kind of weirdo who always burst out strange ideas. Anyway, I don’t think that’s a bad thing . I am pleasant to accept this truth .
Zhao Gejing
My hobby is playing, and I am interested in biology and i like playing piano,guitar.I love music. I am good at science,biology.In addition I love the nature.I am very interested in animals.My dream is becoming a perfect doctor.I like Igem,and ,our team, I really hope that I can contribute my strengths in team.
My Idea: Improving Marine Environment.
Serious oil pollution of the ocean, destroys the ecological balance of the oceans . This layer of oil film separates the atmosphere and seawater, it will interfere the dissolved oxygen in seawater, decrease the amount of oxygen. At the same time, the oil film avoids marine plants photosynthesis , and marine animals will die due to the O2 lack. If we could find a substance bacteria that can not only tolerate salinity and can buoy on the water, but also can provide marine creatures a new photosynthesis occasion, like fluoresce, or something else. And that the creatures will not suffer such a severe situation.
Xing Zilin
My character is not particularly good, I don't like to talk to strangers.
I am very interested in biology, from primary school to nowI have been interested in a reptile animals, especially iguanas, chameleons, monitor lizards, tortoises turtles, large python class. I envy them with perfect figure and beautiful color, because of interest i participate in this contest. I believe results have no matter. I am very much looking forward to curriculum and course. I hope we can work and improve ourselves together.
Andy
I am from class 1 grade 10. I join the iGEM team of HW. Why did I make this choice. One of the reason is that I can learn something not only about Synthetic Biology but also useful for my future life. People here are friendly and kindly. And I am glad to be here for this introduction about myself.
For real, I am not good at biology before. But I promise I will study hard in the team. Math and English are my favorite subjects. And Harvard is the college of my dream of. As for my spare time, I’d like to play basketball and play games.
And I wish we can keep a great relationship with others in the team. In a relationship, there are certain considerations or factors that people will into account in a very serious way. Like some might care more about mutual wishing certain virtue are with the people we are dealing with. So I hope we can do better in the team.
Men Xuyang
I’m very outgoing and good at getting along with others. My hobby is watching movies, playing tennis…And my motto is just like the sentence from <The Pursuit of Happyness>:You got a dream, you got to protect it. You want some,go to get it. There is an I in "happiness",There is no Y in "happiness",It's an I. So I believe we could win only if we do our best!
My idea: Develop a acidity level tool for plants
It utilizes a pH sensing and modifying bacteria to monitor the environment of planting soil for acid plants. The goal is to chain a pH sensor to turn on a hydrogen pump, effectively acidifying any area deemed too basic. This bacteria could replace the common use of directly applie acids. The benefits would include a self sustained system that constantly monitors and adjusts pH for an ideal environment.
Shen Meizhang
I am always outgoing and I like to be friends with others. There are many challenges in our life and I prefer to face all the challenges with a light heart. My teacher taught me that we should all be the calm attitude towards any time to be awake to solve the problem. Because of this method, I have had a lot of new experience and feeling. A person is not everything, it’s easier to finish the difficult work if I ask for help from my partner.
Wang Qiao
I study in Haidian Foreign Language Experimental School.My study is not very good. But I am interest in the contest. I like to play basketball and various sports.Now I am in the school swimming team.I also like surf the internet and watch movies.I will read books in the school. In short, I was an ordinary boy, but I believe that this time I will do something special.

Self-evaluation: I think I have a cheerful personality. I never worry about anything. Maybe I am not the best one, but I will be the best. I am easy to get along with others and I have teamwork and organizational skills.
My idea:prevent red tide.
I very interested in red tide . Because of the accumulation of lots of phytoplankton, protozoa and bacteria, the water comes to change its color. And the red tide will cause many creatures died of oxygen deficit or poisoning. Therefore, I thought that maybe we can find a bacteria which can infect the phytoplankton by carrying a kind of virus. So that the red tide will be wipe away.
Gong Heyi
My name is Gong Heyi, a student from GAC G123. My scores in my class is neither very high nor very low, but I have a really strong sense of interest in biology, for my parent are both teachers in the department of biology in CAU. I like to talk, maybe I talk all the time and just can not stop. I am good at making friends who are next to me to laugh. My favorite sport is tennis, but now I seldom go and play basketball in order to make myself healthier. I don’t like to read books; I only read books which I like to read. My memory is quite good, but I suck at it when it comes to tests. All in all, I am a very ordinary high school student, so I hope I can make a change of myself in this act!
Li Haoze
My hobby is reading books and biology study. I like playing computer games. I am good at science, my biological performance is good, but not perfect.my English is general. I am not good at self-control. I hope that I can contribute my strengths in the team.
My idea: Use a bacteria to recycle our used papers.
My idea: Use a bacteria to recycle used papers. He said that by putting the ferment of The decomposition of pigment into E.coli and culture, we can sprinkle the tiny bacteria on the used paper. And then, we can have a brand new paper!
Fang Jinglun
Hello everyone. My name is Fang Jinglun, from class 4 senior 2.I am a outgoing boy , and I’d love to get on well with others , and I hope that we can get along well with each other.
My hobby is reading , especially about history , and I like play computer game , anyway .
In this group , I am going to win the golden prize bravely with the team , come on !
My idea: Invent a kind of bacteria in order to detect the release of formaldehyde
formaldehyde is oxidation in the body, produce the alcohol, when alcohol concentration reaches a certain value, the red light will be made by the fluorescent protein, tip here is harmful to human body. Can be used in home decoration paint on. It is very essential for the house which is just decorated.
Dong Yubo
Hi！I am Bob!Obviously I am the tallest guy in the group!
I am a pretty outgoing and optimstic boy who is interested in all kinds of atracttive things.Besides,I will try my best to make our group better.Moreover, I hope we will have an unforgettable time uniting together to overcome all the problems and make great progress eventually!
My idea:make a bacteria to find the changes of our temperature
I’d like to create a bacteria that can respond the changing of our temperature by discoloring. I wants to design a bacteria, it shows red when the temperature is high(it’s hot outside), while it becomes blue if the temperature is quite low(it’s cold outside). I also advices that we can use it to draw a smiling face. The dual--colored face will tell people the weather outside, and that kind of clothes to wear. All in all, my idea was made for people’s daily life.
