HL60 Group
- Goals:
- Engineering Navigation:
- sending cells to new targets - GPCR Screening
- tuning receptor sensitivity - Forced localization of effector proteins to GPCRs
- Payload:
- can we make our cells carry stuff? - attach beads to cells

- Cathy Liu's notebook:
- Eric Wong's notebook:
- Jackie Tam's notebook:
- Ryan Liang's notebook:I cloned parts to be used in the GPCR screens, transfected HL-60 cells with various different GPCRs, ran transwell assays, and analyzed/compared transwell assay results.
Dictyostelium Group
- Goals:
- Engineering brakes and accelerators:
- modulating PIP3 polarity by building synthetic protein based feedback loops
- workflow:
- 1. PCR parts: catalytic and localization domains
- 2. Create combinations of localization domains and catalytic domains
- 3. Generate Dictyostelium strains expressing feedback elements
- 4. Measure motility parameters (speed, directionality)
- 3. Analyze data. Create histograms and compare if our plasmid had any effect to dicty.Do they cause them to move faster or slower?

- Allen Cai's notebook:
- Alex Smith's notebook:
- Edna Miao's notebook: Transformed new constructs into Dicty, analyzed data, and worked with wildtype and PTEN null dicty.
- Ethan Chan's notebook: Constructed Dicty cells with new parts, analyzed data, and worked with wildtype and PTEN null dicty cells.
- Ryan Quan's notebook:I worked on team dicty and taught the students some basic cloning techniques but mainly learned many new things along with them.
