• First Meeting, Tuesday, July 11, 2006

The First Critical Design Review meeting took place today at 3pm.

Attendees

1. Charles Yoon
2. Herak Sikder

Topics of Discussion

• What do the Design Review committee have ?

Answer: We have the design, the biobrick parts used for the design, the mathematical modelling and the basic idea of how the biological thermometer is supposed to work.

• What do we lack ?

Answer: No experimental datas to back up the design and its modelling. Most of the biobricks parts used in the design are not verified functionally via testing.

Outcomes of the meeting

• Each member should go through the design thoroughly. They should get familiar with the parts used in the design.
• A second meeting is set up on 13th July, Thursday at 3pm.

Agenda for the 2nd meeting

• Take the whole design apart and analyze it from bottom up starting at the parts level.
• Come up with a strategy to test the existing design. For instance: how to test critical parts of the design individually before integrating them into the overall genetic circuit.
• Come up with a reasonable time line for the testing.
• Think about the kind and range of values we are expecting from the testing.
• Discuss on ways to improve the design or to substitute parts in the design with better working part which have experimental back-ups.

NOTE: All the attendees of the meeting on thurdays are encouraged to bring print out of the design of the Cell-See-Us thermometer with you.
