We are very eager to establish collaborative relationships with other teams and continue our research on BMCP based on their suggestions. On July 9th, we participated in the China iGEMer Community Conference (CCiC) in the Chinese region. During the conference, we witnessed projects with diverse themes from different regions and felt the warmth and vitality of the synthetic biology community. The three-day conference agenda included academic lectures, team report presentations, poster presentations, special lectures, team discussions, and more. During the conference, we exchanged project designs and progress with other teams, had fruitful discussions, and received collaboration requests from many schools. This made us feel that even though we are in different places, we are all one, and we are all together.

  During the conference, we discussed how to use our time effectively to improve the theoretical foundation of our experiments while at home. We also provided innovative points for our project for other teams to reference. After the conference, we decided to collaborate with these iGEM teams. We found that the projects of XJTLU-CHINA and SCU-China were closely related to ours, so the three teams further exchanged project overviews, experimental modeling, social surveys, and more. In addition, we researched appropriate research methods to improve the details of our experiments and increase efficiency.
  During the summer vacation, we had academic exchanges with iGEM teams from several schools, including ZJUT-China, XJTLU-CHINA, SCU-China, BIT-China, and others. In our communication, we provided suggestions to other teams and received significant help from them in experiments, HP, and many other aspects. Their guidance provided us with valuable experimental directions and extended our thinking. Furthermore, other teams' methods and ideas about experiments and human practices provided us with excellent ways to try things. We firmly believe that a good experimental experience requires a continuous cycle of communication, suggestions, and improvements. We are also honored to be able to help other teams optimize their projects.

They showcased their modeling approach during the exchange, inspiring us for our modeling direction. We were impressed by their team's mature modeling structure and sought their valuable experience.

We established a long-term and close collaborative relationship with SCU-China, and they provided very practical suggestions for our project (such as suggesting that we consider the impact factors of covalent binding between spytag and spycatcher in experiments). They also paid attention to the details of NEU-CHINA's previous projects and received detailed answers from us. In the future, we will continue to maintain close contact, seek common ground while reserving differences, and progress together.

We participated in an academic exchange meeting attended by multiple schools at the invitation of ZJUT-China. We are grateful to ZJUT-China for providing us with this valuable opportunity, allowing our project to collide with more teams' thoughts, thus gaining improvement and perfection.

XJTLU-CHINA provided guidance for the optimization of our biomembrane growth model, and we also showed them an excellent modeling reference created by our team in previous years, providing some ideas for modeling optimization. The process of exchange and learning was highly efficient. We actively sought contacts and cooperation not only in experiments but also in HP, hoping that our projects could be more comprehensive and demonstrate the charm of synthetic biology to the public."
