                  <h4>Team Project</h4>
−
                   <p> Synthetic Biology achievements and challenges have only real sense taking into account the effect it has on the improvement of nowadays issues. However, it is also one of the most <b>controversial </b> scientific fields for <b>the public opinion. </b> </p> <p>Generally, the presence of <b>misconceptions</b> in regard to genetic engineering makes it difficult to reach to the <b> general public </b>. Moreover, access to SynBio is currently hampered by several barriers, such as the extensive background knowledge. </p>
+
                   <p>When explaining Printeria to people, we see they are reticent to use it because of the genetically modified bacteria that we do. A part of our project is to fight the stigma against Synthetic Biology and Harvard was claiming for teams disposed to do so.&nbsp;</p>
−
<p> Thus, with Printeria we want to break the social and technological barriers that prevent people from coming into Synthetic Biology. In this context, our <b>Education and Public Engagement </b> work has the aim of divulgating SynBio through different social targets, so that misinformation is beated in favour of the critical thinking. </p>
+
                  <h4>Collaboration</h4>
−
                 
+
                  <p> Their collaboration was about doing a report of our project to create a series of newsletters and articles to show how we are using bacteria and demonstrate that we are doing it taking into account demanding security measures.&nbsp;</p>

                   <p><a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Ecuador" target="blank">Ecuador iGEM team</a> has been working on the development of a new biomaterial to speed up the healing in bone injures. This biomaterial called (C-lastine), is based on the cross-linking of bacterial cellulose and Elastin-like polypeptides. This cross-linking is mediated by a carbohydrate binding domain and a BMP2 protein (an osteoblasts differentiation inducer). To achieve this objective they are using E.Coli as a biofactory, specifically C41 strain which is resistant to Cellulose synthase operon protein D, codified by gene bcsD and responsible of pore formation in the membrane allowing cellulose to exit the cell. The final result is a bandage matrix that can be applied to the wound during a surgical intervention.</p>

+
                   <p> If we think about it, Printeria is a kind of biofactory so, we thought that trying to make Ecuadorís biomaterial in Printeria would be a good trial to show that Printeria is ready to become something greater in the biotechnological industry and why not, it could be used in hospitals as well. However, due to the fact that there were problems with the size of the parts for Golden Gate and with the customs, it could not become a reality. This idea would be developed with Imperial College. Instead, we did several things.</p>
−
</p>
+
                   <p>We did a survey to get some feedback from the potential users of both projects. It consisted in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITVeAXSsO5k" style="padding-right: 0;" target="blank">video</a> in spanish and then a survey to fill out.In our case, the survey was made to know what users  thought about Printeria and Synthetic Biology. In no case this surveys represents the collective of users (only 15 people were surveyed) it was just made to have an idea.</p>

<p> Art exists since the origins of humanity. Likewise, science has always been prompted by a desire of knowing more and more about the world, the nature and life. </p>
+
                  <div style="

<p>One of our main concerns is to demonstrate the existant synergy between art and life sciences. This is nowadays called <b>Bio Art</b>: a contemporary art form that adapts scientific methods and biotechnology to explore living systems as artistic subjects (1). </p>

−
                   <p> How to attract people to SynBio? It is possible to achieve this challenge in a subjective and eye-appealing way? We thought it could be possible, so we designed the didactic practical session <b>‘Bioartist for one day’.</b>

        <p> The activity took place in the Mustang Art Gallery (Elche), a cultural space dedicated to the diffusion of contemporary art. This workshop involved last year high school students of arts, science and social sciences, so we could interact with a wide range of different profiles. </p>
+
                    <span class="btn__text">SURVEY RESULTS</span>
−
                   <p>In this activity, they created their own <b>‘living masterpice’</b>. Previously, we did detailed explanation on how to properly use the lab material and cells during simple microbiology protocols such as plating.  
+
                    </a>

+
                  </div>
−
Then, using solid <b>agar plates</b> as a <b>canvas</b>, <b>inoculating loops</b> as <b>brushes</b> and a palette of <b>pigmented bacteria</b> we self-made in the lab as <b>tempera</b>, they blew their minds to do imaginative <b>Microbial Art</b>. As soon as they finished, petri dishes were collected, kept and sealed for a later incubation in our lab. Finally, a gallery of all their artistic works was published in an Integram account, so everyone could share it and so create interest into bacterial art. </p>  
+
                  <p></p>
−
<p><img src="enlace de la imagen" alt=""></p><p>We also thought that, in the network era, students could be a great help in the promotion of SynBio by simple talking about their experiences, so we created the Instagram hashtag <b>#MAGPRINTERIA</b> to encourage them to share their own pics and impressions during the activity. </p> </p>
+
                  <p>Furthermore, we did a model for Ecuador based on ().</p>
−
     
+
                  <p>And finally we provide them with a special strain called C41. This was really important for them due to the fact that without it, they couldnít continue with their iGEM project.</p>

                  <h4>Team Project</h4>
−
                   <p>High school students are eager to know more about the world they live in. However, students rarely learn about Synthetic Biology inside classrooms. As there is a lack of hand-on STEM curricula, basic concepts such as gene, DNA and bacteria are only explained theoretically.
+
                   <p>Do you know that there is something that grows faster than a Bacteria? If it grows faster...Why not use it as a chassis to do pharmaceuticals and chemicals? This is the fantastic idea that Marburg team has developed. They want to demonstrate that working with V.Natriegens is cheaper, faster and possible with todayís methods.&nbsp;</p>
−
 
+
                   <h4>Collaboration</h4>
−
In order to stimulate young people to be curious about science and to promote the critical thinking on scientific foundations, we believe this educational approach needs to be changed.

                   <p> Initially, they requested us to do the interlab study with V.Natriegens and to annotate how fast V.Natriegens grows but this gave us a really good idea. Why don't we try to use V.Natriegens in Printeria? If all goes well, it would mean that Printeria is ready to work with other organisms, not only E.coli.&nbsp;</p>

                   <p> To do so, we gave some talks to several high school classes, in which we talked about:

−
<ul>
+
−
  <li>
+
−
    <p>iGEM and SynBio as a multidisciplinary research field </p> <p> We talked about the iGEM competition and the future of SynBio as a research field that can help to solve nowadays issues.

  <li>

−
    <p>Bacteria: enemies or friends? </p> <p> We wanted to beat the stigma against bacteria, explaining their importance and benefits, not only naturally (i.e.: they form our microbiote and they are the base of the trophic chains), but also in biotechnology (i.e.: bacteria as biofactories for medicine, industry, etc.) </p>
+
−
  </li>
+
−
  <li>
+
−
    <p>Printeria: how it really works? </p> <p> As SynBio is not only about biology, we thought it was also highly important to demonstrate the role of engineering and electronics. Thus, we decided to explain them, from an educational approch, the basis of Printeria: our software and how the digital microfluidic system allows us to control each biotech process with high accuracy. During the talk, we showed them several videos and photos to ease each explanation and to ensure studens could understand such kind of a priori complex concepts.

Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Harvard

Team Project

When explaining Printeria to people, we see they are reticent to use it because of the genetically modified bacteria that we do. A part of our project is to fight the stigma against Synthetic Biology and Harvard was claiming for teams disposed to do so. 

Collaboration

Their collaboration was about doing a report of our project to create a series of newsletters and articles to show how we are using bacteria and demonstrate that we are doing it taking into account demanding security measures. 

Ecuador

Team Project

Ecuador iGEM team has been working on the development of a new biomaterial to speed up the healing in bone injures. This biomaterial called (C-lastine), is based on the cross-linking of bacterial cellulose and Elastin-like polypeptides. This cross-linking is mediated by a carbohydrate binding domain and a BMP2 protein (an osteoblasts differentiation inducer). To achieve this objective they are using E.Coli as a biofactory, specifically C41 strain which is resistant to Cellulose synthase operon protein D, codified by gene bcsD and responsible of pore formation in the membrane allowing cellulose to exit the cell. The final result is a bandage matrix that can be applied to the wound during a surgical intervention.

Collaboration

If we think about it, Printeria is a kind of biofactory so, we thought that trying to make Ecuadorís biomaterial in Printeria would be a good trial to show that Printeria is ready to become something greater in the biotechnological industry and why not, it could be used in hospitals as well. However, due to the fact that there were problems with the size of the parts for Golden Gate and with the customs, it could not become a reality. This idea would be developed with Imperial College. Instead, we did several things.

We did a survey to get some feedback from the potential users of both projects. It consisted in a video in spanish and then a survey to fill out.In our case, the survey was made to know what users thought about Printeria and Synthetic Biology. In no case this surveys represents the collective of users (only 15 people were surveyed) it was just made to have an idea.

Furthermore, we did a model for Ecuador based on ().

And finally we provide them with a special strain called C41. This was really important for them due to the fact that without it, they couldnít continue with their iGEM project.

Marburg

Team Project

Do you know that there is something that grows faster than a Bacteria? If it grows faster...Why not use it as a chassis to do pharmaceuticals and chemicals? This is the fantastic idea that Marburg team has developed. They want to demonstrate that working with V.Natriegens is cheaper, faster and possible with todayís methods. 

Collaboration

Initially, they requested us to do the interlab study with V.Natriegens and to annotate how fast V.Natriegens grows but this gave us a really good idea. Why don't we try to use V.Natriegens in Printeria? If all goes well, it would mean that Printeria is ready to work with other organisms, not only E.coli. 

Imperial College

Team Project

This collaboration was born when Ismael (Imperial College iGEM team supervisor) came to Valencia to have a meeting with Diego Orzaez one of our instructors. Taking advantage of that situation we met with him and he explained us the I.C project called PixCell.

PicCell aims to get electronics and Synthetic Biology closer designing an innovative sistem where the culture is controlled by voltage.  

Collaboration

As they are using Golden Gate grammar we thought that it could be a good opportunity to do what we couldnít do with Ecuador team, try their construction in Printeria and compare results handmade and Printeria made. 

Complutense de Madrid

Collaboration

One of biggest problems during iGEM project is to learn how to work with Wiki sintaxis. As not everybody is acquainted with programming with marking languages like html or xml, managing the wiki is a difficult task for every team.  

Francisco Javier Quero, team leader of Madrid-OLM team, contacted us at the beginning of the summer to ask for help with their wiki. To help them solve their problems our software team did a call via Skype to talk these topics:

  • An explanation of how mediawiki works and the main problems they will find working with it.

  • Tips when saving the code, for example, separating it in different structures like navbar, main content, footer…etc.

  • Recommendations at the time of choosing a web template because not all the technologies available will work in the wiki and knowing this will make a big saving of time.
