A Step Towards Our Community - The HKUST iGEM 2013 team had three main objectives in mind for human practice: safe application of our project, bioethics and biosafety, and provision of synthetic biology information for the general public. Each objective was considered carefully and human practice events were developed according to these objectives.
Presentations are one way to share information about our project and iGEM to other people, whether it is to fellow scholars or to the general public. Find out more about our past and upcoming presentations on synthetic biology.
This is a novel human practice project that we performed. Our country profile provides information on synthetic biology in Asian countries to facilitate a more holistic understanding of synthetic biology around the world.
It is necessary to think about how our project could actually be 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 current gene therapy procedures.
We have made several videos to inform the general public about synthetic biology and our project. We tried to make the content relatively easy to understand so that people with no background knowledge in biology understand the content.
While working on the Country Profile, we could not find any webpage or blog specifically made to update people about synthetic biology for Hong Kong viewers. So, we decided to make a simple, but interactive blog for the public in Hong Kong written in Cantonese.
To discuss the possible safe application of our project, we met with prominent individuals in Hong Kong society. The interviews allowed us to gain a better understanding of how our project could actually work as a product.
We thought safe application of our project was a very important aspect of our project because we thought that in the future our project will probably be directly applied on humans. We tried to incorporate a foreign inducible metabolic process into human liver cells; therefore we had to consider how to eliminate possible complications that our project could cause. We approached this aspect by meeting two prominent scientists in Hong Kong society who are currently actively participating in scientific and medical research.
