Sponsor Acknowledgement

We are full of gratitude for our sponsors without whom we could not achieve anything! Your support means everything to us. Thank you for allowing us to live a wonderful experience in the world of synthetic biology, and to be a building block for a better future.

UFR de Biologie de Sorbonne Université (Sorbonne University Biology Teach & Research Department):

We are grateful for the chance to work on this project with the department’s backing. Your commitment to helping students is truly appreciated.

Fond de Solidarité et de Développement des Initiatives Etudiantes (Solidarity and Student Project Development Fund) of Sorbonne University:

The FSDIE is our main sponsor, and as such we could not have done anything without their support. We thank them profusely for the chance they give to student projects of all kinds, including ours.

SnapGene:

SnapGene has provided us with a license to use their software. Thanks to them, we have been able to design our plasmids in a top-notch software, which has helped us tremendously in achieving our goals. We are truly grateful for their sponsorship.

Laboratory of Computational and Quantitative Biology (LCQB):

The LCQB doors have been opened for the Sorbonne U IGEM team for quite some years now, thanks to its director, Pierre Crozet. We express our deepest gratitude for this access to the lab, as without it we would not be able to carry out any experiments. We are also thankful for the guidance given by the other members of the lab on different aspects of our project, for their generosity and their cheerfulness.

Arkema:

Arkema is a French chemical group specialized in materials chemistry. As part of our project, we contacted them to discuss the conversion of PET, and they sent us an invitation to attend the JEC World trade show in Villepinte. This allowed us to meet various stakeholders in the composite chemistry field, including the latest innovations and applications of composite materials.
