PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT: IB CURRICULUM


IB Synthetic Biology and Research Applications


This lesson plan includes five units - four for standard-level IB students and one for higher-level IB students. Although this curriculum plan provides only an outline of the topics which should be covered in class, it showcases a variety of topics pertinent to synthetic biology right now and serves as a great framework to build upon.


Unit 1: Synthetic Biology - An Overview

  1. What is Synthetic Biology?

  2. creating gene circuits/pathways and analyzing their parts

  3. Interdisciplinary approach to synthetic biology: bioinformatics, software, and engineering

  4. Importance of Public outreach and communication

  5. Future applications of biology and biotechnology


Unit 2: Bioethics and Research

  1. What is bioethics?

  2. Ethical restrictions on research

  3. Ethics analysis and assessment

  4. Biosafety and Biosecurity - the control of biological material

  5. Case Studies on past ethical problems


Unit 3: Medical Applications

  1. Biomarkers: production, recognition, and utilization

  2. Reporters: Genes, aptamers

  3. Detection of pathogens and mutants

  4. Gene therapy: insertions/deletions, insulators, enhancers

  5. Stem cells and gene engineering

  6. Engineering the microbiome: prokaryotic medicine


Unit 4: Building a Better World

  1. Food and Nutrition: cryoprotection, nutrient production

  2. Environment: Crop yield and ecosystem health

  3. Biosensors and bioremediation

  4. Electricity production

  5. Space tools, carbon utilization, and synthetic tissues


Unit 5: Biological tools and techniques

  1. CRISPR: origin, applications, modifications

  2. PCRs, gels, and blots

  3. Bacterial growth and manipulation

  4. Genome sequencing

  5. NCBI and other research databases

  6. Protein analysis

  7. Sequence analysis
