Courses

Within the activites related to human practices, there are two intensive courses that we, in collaboration with iGEM team ollin synbio. The first of these courses covered the topics related to synthetic biology and was held at ITESM CEM. It consisted of 18 hours distributed in 3 different Saturdays (May 24th and 31st and June 7th). The goal of this course was to cover the following topics:

• Fundamentals of molecular biology and genetics
• Genetic Engineering
• Fundamentals of synthetic biology
• Biobricks
• Biological machines
• Synthetic biology and its applications
• Intellectual property
• Biosafety and bioethics

In order to broaden the perspective of the participants who mostly consisted of biotechnology engineering students ranging from 4th to 8th semester of their undergraduate program. We can gladly say that this objective was met and that the participants acquired knowledge that will help them decide the path their scientific lives will take. It was a great opportunity to introduce young people to the world of synthetic biology, biobricks, biological machines, biosafety and bioethics.
The 50 subscribed participants covered a fee of inscription of 750 mexican pesos, the money collected was divided between the two organizing teams, and it was used to develop their projects.
The second course that we organized covered the topics related to medical biotechnology, these topics are the following:

• Cell biology and genetics
• Genomics
• Transcriptomics
• Proteomics
• Pathogen identification, using molecular diagnosis
• Molecular diagnosis of heritable diseases
• Pharmacogenetics
• Pharmacogenomics
• Cell therapy using stem cells
• Tissue engineering
• Gene therapy
• Fundamentals of Immunology
• Recombinant vaccines
• Transfer factor
• Fabotherapy
• Bioethics

This course consisted of 32 effective hours, distributed in 5 Saturdays (June 21st and 28th and July 5th 12th and 26th) The 50 participants covered a fee of 900 pesos, this course was also held at ITESM CEM. In order to carry out the courses, team members contacted experts in each of the areas that we managed to cover. Being fortunate enough to have the participations of recognized researchers such as Ph.D Atlántida Raya Rivera; Ph.D Vianney Ortíz Navarrete; Master José Antonio Alonso Pavón; Ph.D Juan José Plata, among others. Many of them work at CINVESTAV, UNAM, ITESM, etc. The collaboration of these experts, helped participants, acquire knowledge regarding not only synthetic biology and medicine, but also, really important topics such as biosafety and bioethics, given by Master in bioethics José Antonio Alonso Pavón, because it is of critical importance that the scientists that are being prepared today have the bioethics basis in order to carry out a carrier that is based on the improvement and benefit of the human race.
