In the process of our iGEM project, we realized that there were still some deficiencies in the design process of the experiment with the continuous deepening of the experiment. There were also some imperfections in the use of the engineered bacteria we selected. Therefore, our team was looking forward to fully referring to the opinions of authoritative experts in the field, explaining to them the background of our project and the current progress, in order to obtain revised opinions for carrying out further experiments.

We turned to Prof. Liang Yang of Southern University of Science and Technology, the instructor of the project, for help, and he also recommended us authoritative experts and scholars in the field. Such as Prof. Huang Wei, Director of nucleic acid Detection Laboratory of Shenzhen People's Hospital; Prof. Jiuxin Qu, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Shenzhen Third People's Hospital; Prof. Qinghua Hu, Deputy Director of Shenzhen Center for Disease Control, etc.

In addition, we hope to visit and learn from relevant biotechnology companies, such as BGI (Human gut microbiome Genome Research Project), and other biofilm related biotechnology companies located in Guangzhou, etc. After a detailed discussion with our instructor, we planned to mainly communicate with the professors and scholars.

We actively went to contact and then got the enthusiastic response from these professors.

Meeting with Dr. Wei Huang, the director of Nucleic acid Detection Laboratory of Shenzhen People's Hospital.

Dr. Wei Huang is currently the director of Nucleic acid Detection Laboratory of Shenzhen People's Hospital, the deputy director of Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Severe Infection Prevention and Control, and the person in charge of Bacteria and Drug Resistance Monitoring Laboratory of Shenzhen People's Hospital.

Our team members arrived at Shenzhen People's Hospital and had a face-to-face conversation with Wei Huang and members of his research group.

Our team leader explained to him the research background of our project, research progress and future research transformation.

He spoke highly of our research, and gave suggestions and schemes in the drawing of experimental results, the specific design of experimental branches, and the selection of experimental routes.

Professor Huang gave us many constructive opinions and suggestions. In terms of the experimental route, he suggested that we pay attention to the linker and promotors we used in the original experiments. In terms of our academic figures, he suggested us to use uniform standards in the drawing process to ensure consistency and legibility of each figure. Even in the terms of slides design, he gave some suggestions about making a more fluid way of structuring and storytelling.
