Singapore has set its sights on becoming a global powerhouse in synthetic biology. The government is pouring money into a new research programme and is encouraging scientists to make synthetic microorganisms, or redesign natural ones, that can be used to produce food, electronics, medicine and energy.

  • Yet after looking at biology syllabuses, we found that there aren’t many opportunities to learn about synthetic biology in tertiary education
  • Insert pictures of biology syllabuses
  • engineering biology in NUS n NTU – limited modules, also not a compulsory module…?
  • There is a gap we can address because tertiary education is the best stage to attract/introduce people to synthetic biology
  • We expect to be more relatable to such a target group as well

ORGANIZED A TERTIARY-LEVEL OUTREACH EVENT

  • Lab tour
  • Lectures
  • Discussion of career prospects
  • Development of a gene circuit design primer and educational game
    • READY TO USE IN THE CLASSROOM
    • USE THE SURVEYS TO SEE HOW TO IMPROVE THE GAME
    • USE THE SURVEYS TO SAY THAT STUDENTS ENJOYED THE GAME
  • Discussion of survey results
slides.length) {slideIndex = 1} for (i = 0; i < dots.length; i++) { dots[i].className = dots[i].className.replace(" active", ""); } slides[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block"; dots[slideIndex-1].className += " active"; setTimeout(showSlides, 3000); // Change image every 2 seconds } */ new Vue({ el: '#carousel', data: { slides: 4 }, components: { 'carousel-3d': Carousel3d.Carousel3d, 'slide': Carousel3d.Slide } })


HEAR OUR STORY

We’re using synthetic biology to change the way the world thinks and functions.

We’re a little disruptive, dangerous and maybe a tad too bold. But the world needs some shaking up every now and then, and we think we’re just the right people for that.

Together we’re going to engineer biology and create something awesome.
