<p>iGEM teams are leading in the area of Human Practices because they conduct their projects within a social/environmental context, to better understand issues that might influence the design and use of their technologies.</p>

                <h3 id="section-1" class="h3">Community</h3>
−
<p>Teams work with students and advisors from the humanities and social sciences to explore topics concerning ethical, legal, social, economic, safety or security issues related to their work. Consideration of these Human Practices is crucial for building safe and sustainable projects that serve the public interest. </p>

 +
                            <p>We inquired about LEE'S PHARM and collected data related to Hemicelluose Dressing — Veloderm. Owing to its unique nano-scale three-dimensional network structure, BC has a high water retention, high mechanical strength, and outstanding biocompatibility, which enable it to serve as a natural scaffold material for the regeneration of a wide variety of tissues. For most wound-repairing materials, important characteristics are their ability to lock exudate during the dressing process, as well as their removal from wound surface after recovery. BC’s potential lies in the unique properties (such as the high mechanical strength) of the never-dried BC membrane; on the other hand, its high liquid absorbency, biocompatibility and hygienic nature perfectly cater to the specific demands for skin tissue repairing. Thus, considering the properties of BC as well as its clinical performance, the commercialization of BC for wound caring is very promising.</p>

Silver Medal Human Practices

Community

  • We hoped our human practice work can communicate science to the public. We went to the community and organized the street science. It was the first time we presented our project and team to the public. Therefore, we had created posters about synthetic biology, the iGEM competition and our project.

    As it was very crowded, we got into conversation with many people and explained what synthetic biology is and where you can find products from genetically engineered organisms in everyday life. They expressed concerns about genetically modified foods. And we used vivid examples to explain to them that genetically modified foods are not harmful.

    To evoke enthusiasm for science in children, we offered several small experiments. The children were very interested in it. We also took the kids to do some games, such as make the cell model with the eraser, teach them the structure of the cell, draw DNA on a blackboard, and so on. Our activities have been going on for a long time and people have been reluctant to leave.

BC company visits

  • LEE'S PHARM and collected data

    We inquired about LEE'S PHARM and collected data related to Hemicelluose Dressing — Veloderm. Owing to its unique nano-scale three-dimensional network structure, BC has a high water retention, high mechanical strength, and outstanding biocompatibility, which enable it to serve as a natural scaffold material for the regeneration of a wide variety of tissues. For most wound-repairing materials, important characteristics are their ability to lock exudate during the dressing process, as well as their removal from wound surface after recovery. BC’s potential lies in the unique properties (such as the high mechanical strength) of the never-dried BC membrane; on the other hand, its high liquid absorbency, biocompatibility and hygienic nature perfectly cater to the specific demands for skin tissue repairing. Thus, considering the properties of BC as well as its clinical performance, the commercialization of BC for wound caring is very promising.

BC factory visit

  • Shandong Nameide Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

    As we near the end of the project, we would like to know the BC factory's view of our work and the production of some BC products. So we visited Shandong Nameide Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Their product is named Nanuomei - a bacterial cellulite wound dressing.

    The company's R & D manager received us and took us to visit the production workshop. She introduced us their mode of producing, which is quit different from the mode of producing BC in our laboratory. For example, in the lab we used the conical flask to produce BC. however, BC was produced in a huge metal tray in the factory.

    Besides, We introduced our iGEM project to her and asked her what she thought about it. She thought our work was very meaningful and has been achieved increasing BC production, but she had doubts about whether it is suitable for the factory because the production methods and the production environment is totally different.

    We plan to test the results of our iGEM project in the factory in the future. And we hope that our project can increase the production of BC not only in the lab but also in the factory. This trip we have gained a lot and we are more confident that our project is useful and meaningful.

Expert literature research and consultation

  • What is the focus of future research on BC materials?

    BC composites can make up for the deficiency of natural BC, but there are still problems of high production cost, low performance and low level of industrialization. To solve these problems, the future research focuses on:

    • Obtaining stable and high yield strains through more efficient genetic engineering ;
    • To explore the new BC industrial production methods, including the design of efficient and inexpensive biofilm production device;
    • Use BC structure of light-based easy to combine and synthetic biology , improve product value-added and expand the scope of product applications.
