Collaboration

Guanajuato Mexico (GTO_Mexico)

This year we collaborated with the Guanajuato Mexico team in developing a curriculum as an introduction to synthetic biology for first year university students. This curriculum covered the basics of biology, synthetic biology and applications. Specifically, we designed a lesson plan on the ethics of synthetic biology followed by a debate on the justification of using synthetic biology in a real case study. This helped to expose the students to different viewpoints on the applications of synthetic biology and what we should be aware of as scientists in designing these biological systems. We were able to present this curriculum including our lesson plan to a group of first year students in Guanajuato.


Not everyone in the class shared the same perspective on synthetic biology and genetically modified organisms. From this collaboration we gained a better understanding of the perception the general public held on the usage of synthetic biology. We learned that a large fear is due to safety and contamination to existing infrastructure. This helped our project by reevaluating some of the project requirements we initially established. It also helped us find a way to better communicate our research to the general public.

iGEM

iGEM is an international competition promoting synthetic biology as a means to solve social, economic and humanitarian problems around the globe. The iGEM Jamboree is held in Boston annually. In 2016, over 300 teams are competing against each other.

Fully Trained!

Our entire team received a full BioSafety education from the University of Calgary! This entailed going to classes to prepare for a final quiz that tested our ability to be safe in the lab. Several of our members also had radiation training and clearance to ensure that work done with radiation was safe!
