In the 2023 iGEM, the goal of the NEU-CHINA team is to design a living functional biofilm that can be applied to marine metal corrosion protection, and improve the anti-corrosion ability of bio-coatings through molecular biology. The NEU-CHINA team began in May 2023 to enter a half-month project exploration period to consider whether our project would benefit the world. After that, we began experimentation, education, human practice, etc., and completed the project through collaboration and the help of others, a process that continued until September 2023. In September 2023, we started building the wiki and preparing the demo.

Dr. Yongqiang Fan:

The teachers have a high academic standard and take the project rigorously. The teacher follow up on our projects and guide us when necessary.
    Experiment: The teacher follows up on our experimental progress and gives us literature when we encounter bottlenecks so that we can find breakthroughs by ourselves.
    HP: The teacher helped us connect with experts in the field for interviews.
    Internal service: The teacher corrected our editorial errors.
    Presentation: The teacher exercises our speaking and corrects our pronunciation mistakes in time.

Dr. Shuang Hao:

The teacher provided us with some technical guidance and assisted us in contacting scholars in the field for consultation.

Dr. Zhong Li:

The teacher provided us with the laboratory to carry out some experiments and provided constructive suggestions during the preliminary exploration period of the project.

Mr. Wang Chao:

The teacher provided us with strong logistics, he helped us arrange workplace and find sponsors.
