今天小编搜罗了上海市民办尚德实验学校融合部美加学子在iGEM2021国际基因工程机器大赛中获得全球银奖希望给择校的家长们提供参考。

在刚刚结束的2021年国际基因工程机器全球总决赛中，尚德融合部美加学子与美国盖斯顿高中学生携手组成战队，与来自41个国家和地区的352支代表队同场竞技。最终在大学组竞赛单元中力压劲敌，斩获全球银奖。同样获得银奖的还有美国麻省理工学院代表队、杜克代表队等。

In the final of 2021 International Genetic Engineering Machine Global, students from Noble Academy of the SSES Integrated Department and Gaston Day School beat their rivals and finally won the silver medal,sharing the victory with teams from MIT and Duke University.

什么是iGEM

What is iGEM?

国际基因工程机器大赛（iGEM）起源于 2003 年，由麻省理工学院（MIT）主办，是合成生物学领域一年一度的国际性顶尖学术竞赛。

The International Genetic Engineering Machine Competition (iGEM) originated in 2003 and is hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is an annual international top academic competition in the field of synthetic biology.

尚德&盖斯顿团队学生聚焦抗生素抗性基因在菌株间水平转移引发耐药基因扩散和传播的生物安全问题，创新性评估和量化了不同环境下T4噬菌体介导的大肠杆菌质粒侧向转移风险，证实T4噬菌体作为移动元件的确会增加抗生素耐药基因在细菌之间水平转移风险。该研究有助于深入理解噬菌体在细菌性疾病的诊断和治疗中的应用，为联合国关于健康和福祉的可持续发展目标作出贡献。

The students of the SSES & GSD team focused on the biosafety issues of antibiotic resistance genes being transferred between different bacterial species leading to the spread of drug-resistant genes. The research innovatively evaluated the transfer risk of the lateral orientation of E. coli plasmids mediated by T4 bacteriophage under different conditions, confirming that T4 bacteriophage as a mobile element does increase the risk of horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes between different strains. The research helps to understand the application of bacteriophages in the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial diseases, and contributes to the United Nations' sustainable development goals on health and well-being of mankind.

学生感言

Communicative barrier, time difference, sending e-mails, and the difficulties of the project itself, including doing research, make me suffer. I had to spend lots of time figuring out some technical terms I had never heard of, some definitions I should learn in the university, and some essays about the topic which are only available in English online. At first, I felt uncomfortable speaking English in weekly meetings, afraid of saying and pronouncing words wrong, but when I forced myself to start questioning and sharing my own ideas, it shows that my concerns don’t matter.

回首望去，这一路挑战留下了我们莽撞而又坚定的足迹，作为第一次参赛的青铜级选手，能拿到银奖我已经很开心！期待学弟学妹创造出更好佳绩！
