Overview

HokkaidoU_JAPAN team is located at Hokkaido,Sapporo, the northeast Japan. In Japan there are several iGEM teams, but in Hokkaido there is only one iGEM team. It is our HokkaidoU_JAPAN! Hokkaido is a prosperous agricultural island. Citizens of Hokkaido are sensitive to gene recombination. We have responsibility to harmonize Hokkaido people with genetic modification.

To achieve this mission, we did human practice.

1. We took a questionnaire from citizens in Hokkaido in order to research citizen’s knowledge and interest in synthetic biology and gene recombination.
2. We presented accurate knowledge of synthetic biology to citizens of Hokkaido.
3. We introduced iGEM to Hokkaido citizens and highschool students.
