A Step towards Our Community - The HKUST iGEM 2013 team had three main objectives in mind for human practice: safe application, bio-ethics & bio-safety, and provision of information of synthetic biology for the general public. Each objective was considered carefully and human practice events were developed accordingly to these objectives.
Presentation is one way to share information about project and iGEM to other people, whether it is to fellow academics or to the general public. Find out more about our past and upcoming presentation on synthetic biology.
This is a novel human practice project that we did. We thought it was necessary to gain information of synthetic biology in Asian countries to have a holistic view of synthetic biology around the world.
It is necessary to think about how our project could be actually applied. Since gene therapy was mentioned as a mean to deliver our DNA into human liver cells, we thought it was necessary to research on the current gene therapy technology.
