Team:KULeuven/Road Map
From 2008.igem.org
Result:
To have a dropdown for your own team copy over all of the content below. It might be needed to adjust a thing or two. Comments have been added throughout the code what must be changed.
Inspirational websites:
- [http://javascript-array.com/scripts/simple_drop_down_menu/ Most basic dropdown menu, with no submenu's]
- [http://jquery.com/ The javascript library used to add effects and optimise the dropdown]
- [http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/css/centering-a-dropdown-menu/ How to center a ul list effectively]
The dropdown has been created and developed by the KULeuven team.

This page contains information on meetings and schedules, on practical stuff, and some suggestions on background reading.
Brainstorm ideas for the project have been moved to the brainstorm page.
Spelen met de wiki doe je in de zandbak, vragen stellen of suggesties doen op de discussiepagina.
Contents |
To do
- check for international passport
- design a team t-shirt (Could someone check whether we can use Jan Fabre's Totem?)
- I have had a formal answer: "Spijtig genoeg kunnen wij u geen toelating geven voor de reproductie/adaptatie van het werk "Totem" van Jan Fabre als logo op t-shirts en websites."
- What are we going to do now? Bmoeyaert
- book flights and hotel
Meetings
May 22nd
students and instructors brainstorm @ ESAT 01.57
present: all students, SDK, LVA, YM, JR, GG, IT
- Each student presented his/her 3 favourite projects of previous iGEMs. All project brainstorm ideas are moved to the project page. There, you can add links to your favourite projects and/or upload your presentation.
- The group picture is on our team page.
- Vote here for the logo you like best (thanks Jonas for the logo and Benjamien for the Zandbak and Discussiepagina idea!).
- To make a summer schedule, please indicate your holiday plans below (Practical stuff - Planned summer holidays). The last exam is on June 27th.
- Since the engineers want to see what's going on in the lab, and the biologists/bio-engineers want to learn about modeling, we'll organize some introductory tutorials in the beginning of the summer holidays.
- Put ideas and suggestions for the wiki here.
- Inge will inform whether the students can stay at the Studentenwijk Arenberg during the summer holidays.
- You are all welcome to join the [http://www.kuleuven.be/bioscenter/ BioSCENTer launch event] (Wednesday 28th, Max Weber auditorium, Parkstraat 51). Our iGEM participation will be presented between 15.35 and 15.45.
- Check out the [http://www.kuleuven.be/bioscenter/igem iGEM website] at [http://www.kuleuven.be/bioscenter BioSCENTer].
- Good luck with the exams!
June 23rd
present: SDK, LVO, KM, JW, YM, JVDL, IT
The ideas that came up are on the brainstorm page.
June 30th
present: Benjamien, Hanne, Elke, Jan, Antoine, Dries, Nick, Stefanie, Jonas, Nathalie, Liesbeth, Sigrid, Astrid, Joris, Johan, Jos, Inge
getting started
- the students prepare tutorials and present these on Monday July 7th to the team (have a look at the teaching resources below for inspiration) --> room 00.210 of the LBI from 10h to 15h, we'll go to Alma at noon
- introduction to synthetic biology (goal, examples...): Benjamien, Nathalie
- basic molecular biology and gene technology: Hanne, Jonas --> Results
- BioBricks (how to work with them - standard cloning procedures - measurement...): Elke, Jan
- modeling (what for? how? eg. Matlab simbiology etc.) + iGEM modeling (go through last years modeling parts to get an idea of iGEM modeling): Maarten, Nick
- wet lab
- the team will work in the CMPG labs
- ensure lab guidance continuity
- all students have lab coats
- yet to decide how the costs will be arranged (also, do we order enzymes, disposables etc. especially for iGEM?)
- dry lab
- a desktop pc will be installed in room 91.13 (internet available)
- Jonas and Antoine explore the possibilities of the wiki (a.o. notebook, templates (eg. digest, PCR... cfr [http://parts.mit.edu/igem07/index.php/Going_through_our_wiki Paris 2007]), ...) --> Results
- during iGEM, everyone is responsible for the wiki
- meeting arrangements
- room 91.13 of the LBI is reserved for iGEM for the whole summer holiday (not on Monday 12-13 and Thursday 12-13)--> to do: clean + writing board + check who has access - also room 00.210 is reserved till July 25th (in replacement of 00.42). This room has wireless internet. --Sigriddk 10:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- weekly meeting at Friday from 12h to 14h in room 00.42 (except August of the LBI. You can order a sandwich by mailing to Inge before Thursday 16h. Students fill out the form by Thursday 16 (still have to put this online) - Put these in your agenda:
- Friday July 18th (LBI Landbouwinstituut 00.42)
- Friday July 25th (LBI 00.42)
- Friday August 1st (LBI 00.42)
- Friday August 8th (LBI 00.42)
- Thursday August 14th (LBI 00.42)
- Friday August 22nd (LBI TBA)
- Friday August 29th (LBI TBA)
- Friday September 5th (LBI TBA)
- Friday September 12th (LBI TBA)
- Friday September 19th (LBI 00.42)
- summer planning
- week of June 30th to July 1st = "orientation week"
- prepare tutorials
- assess the possibility of the project ideas
- check that we're not repeating previous years' work
- fill in the details of the project (interesting BioBricks to use, adapt, make...)
- ...
- full speed iGEM from July 7th to September 19th
- week of June 30th to July 1st = "orientation week"
the project
During orientation week, the timer project (PI control of drug production and timer for cell death) and the D project (with regulator and sRNA or with stable/unstable - gfp/TEV protease) will be assessed carefully (see the brainstorm page for an overview of these ideas).
things to think about
- fund raising?
- contact press - which? (Hanne has connections at Het Nieuwsblad)
July 7th
10-15 in room 00.210 of the LBI
Present: all students, IT, SDK, LVO, lab assistants
meeting agenda
- fill out werkpostfiches (insurance)
- distribute iGEM pins
- tutorials
- 10: intro synthetic biology
- 11: intro molecular biology and gene technology
- 13: BioBricks (the CMPG people that will guide in the lab will attend this one)
- 14: modeling
July 8th
9-17 in room 00.42 of the LBI
Present: all students
- continuation of the brainstorm
- searching for the right BioBricks
- inserting the BioBricks in the sandbox
- trying out cell designer
Practical stuff
nickvd: I propose to start working on the project the first week of July (read: Monday 7th). In that way we can get some rest after the exams, recharge our batteries so we can start working with a clear mind and full of motivation!
- That would be excellent, because I' m going to Werchter... So I'm available starting from Monday 7th --Hanne 20:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I am also back on the 7th. --Andim
- ...
Are there people that can start on Monday 30th of June or somewhere that week? For instance because they have few exams, don't like holidays... ;) For some BioBricks playing-around, preliminary testing, toy-modeling etc. --Inge
- My last exam is on the 25th... I'll have a headache for the first two days and then I would like to review certain things on PID-controllers and Matlab, so I figure I should be able to start soon. --Antoine
- I can start the 3rd of July (and perhaps the 1st also) Benjamien
- I should be able to start the 1st of July. Nathalie
- Normally I can also start the 30th of june Jan
- I don't mind messing about a bit that first week, so no problem for me Jonas
Planned summer holidays
- IT: August 2nd-17th
- Benjamien: August 2nd-17th
- nickvd: no holiday plans, only moving plans the first week of July. I would also prefer to end somewhere around September 10th to get some rest before my thesis year.
- Stefanie: no holiday plans, only moving plans the first week of July.
- Hanne: August 11th-17th, August 6th and a short minibreak.
- Jonas: I'm out of town September 15-21 and end of july (a little bit more precise now 21st of july till 1st of august), no other plans yet
- Elke: September 12th-19th
- Jan: In the beginning of september I'm probably expected to start in the lab with my thesis, but maybe I can also work a week for my thesis in august so I can also participate a week in IGEM in september. I'll try to arrange what fits with my promotor, but it's too early to say. I don't have holiday plans yet, but if there's a gap when there's no work for IGEM, I'll probably go on holiday :)
- Nathalie: I only planned something from June 28th until July 1st. So normally, I will be available all the time.
- maarten: no holiday plans so far, but like nick I would also prefer to end somewhere around September 10th so I can relax a bit before I start working on my thesis
- Antoine: 3 short breaks in August, not planned yet though
- Andim: June 24th- July7th I will be at home in Istanbul, then the weekend after I am not here.
- Dries: July 11, August 20th-31th
