User Research
OVERVIEW
We conducted user studies of our programs with volunteer subjects from the MIT and BU iGEM teams as well as students from Wellesley College who had a range of knowledge and exposure to synthetic biology. Receiving feedback from both target and non-target users during the design process is vital for improving our projects.
BASIC WET-LAB TRAINING WITH NATALIE KULDELL AT MIT
At the beginning of the summer, the Wellesley Desyne team received an introduction to synthetic biology and wet-lab training by Professor Natalie Kuldell at MIT. After reviewing the core concepts of synthetic biology, we also discussed in detail the safety concerns of working in this multi-disciplinary field. During the wet-lab training, we were able to participate first hand on popular experiments such as E.chromi.
