         Our project, The BioMaker Factory have created a lot of enthusiasm from our backers, our teachers back at the university and finally our counselors. We clearly understand that our project was ambitious, and therefore the sole time of the competition probably wasn’t enough. Therefore, we want to install and root more deeply our project, by working together with the institutions that supported us, like the iPEPS from the ICM institute or the SATT Lutech society for our experiments and our University for the mechanical part. This way in the same time our engineers improve our prototype, we are working on the establishment of the clearest business plan possible that will give us objectives and insight for the coming years and will ensure to our future invertors and partners the credibility of our project. In fact, this business plan is actually being developed by our Human Practices team. We think that our project goal is too essential to be just a student fantasy.

Impact UPMC



Public Engagement

iGEM is a synthetic biology competition with the aim of sharing and spreading knowledge and possibilities that biology can offer to people in order to address and solve current issues..

One of the most important aspect of our project was to fulfill the gap between the synthetic biology and public in order to raise awareness of the most important health concern in developing countries; the lack of access to health care.

All the public engagement we have done throughout this entire year was made to highlight our project, the iGEM competition and the impact of synthetic biology in real life. In the same time, it enabled the development of our project through financial supports and helped us to communicate in professional and scientific community. Therefore, we first contacted private and public organizations with the aim to find financial and communication supports to develop our project and also to educate a large range of audience to synthetic biology and demonstrate what we can do with this mean and knowledge for our future community. Boundaries always exist between scientists and people who often do not understand each other. Scientific mediation through education and public engagement is the best way to raise awareness and get close to people. That is what we tried to accomplish through different speeches and contributions.
