Acknowledgement

This page has been created to acknowledge all those who have supported to the CALIPSO project. Every single contribution was valuable and helped us to go as far as we could in the competition.

We extend our appreciation to the generous support and commitment of our sponsors who helped us make the CALISPO a reality. With deep gratitude, we would like to thank:

Their financial support, expertise, and belief in the potential of our project enabled us to participate serenely in this 2023 edition of the iGEM competition while consolidating our desire to propose an innovation in the field of cancer treatment, through synthetic biology.

Our fundraising campaign on gofundme

We created this fund on June 15th 2023, asking for people’s generosity to help us contribute to the fight against cancer and go as far as possible with the CALIPSO project, which we are so passionate about.

Part of the funding was used to buy the consumables and reagents we needed to carry out our experiments during the four months spent in the laboratory, to demonstrate the functionality of our system.

In addition, the donations helped us carry out communication campaigns to raise awareness of our project and synthetic biology among the general public.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all donors,
as each contribution is another step towards making our project a reality.
