The humanity in synthetic biology

A big part of participating in iGEM is spreading the word of synthetic biology and its applications. Therefore, we have done a lot of outreach. We have talked with different sectors of the society, e.g. high school students and laymen. We also reached out to experts and companies in order to get their point of view on Bacto-Aid. The feedback from both students and the industry has broaden our perspective. By integrating these new parts and insights into our project, we were brought a step closer to a real product. The industrial interest in the project has caught the attention of LEGO®, who wishes to meet us after the Jamboree


There are still a lot of work before our Bacto-Aid can be commercialized. However, we have a plan for how to get there and you can read more about that in Prospects. We have likewise discussed the bioethical arguments in our project and used this for a reflection of how Bacto-Aid can be a part of the future and what impact it will leave on the society.
