The Human Practice Story

UCL iGEM has addressed the subject of Human Practices with three central questions. The answers to which not only gave us insight, but guided our research to best benefit the world.

1. What does the industry need?

2. How can we understand the impact of our project on a sociological scale?

3. How do we engage the general public to understand the problem and the solution?

What does the Industry need?

Trip to ETAD

Basel, Switzerland

In a bid to further understand the industry requirements for an Azo Dye remediation project three of our team ventured to the head office of The Ecological and Toxicological Association of Dyes and Organic Pigments Manufacturers (ETAD) in Basel, Switzerland. We met with their Chief Director Walter Hoffman along with Research and Development Directors from Bezema and Huntsman Dyeing Companies; Georg Roentgen and Dr Stefan Ehrenberg respectively.
