North Carolina State University Genetic Engineering & Society Center iGEM TeamWe are working with Antony Evans of the Glowing Plant Project to explore what it means to act responsibly with respect to genetic engineering. Specifically, we propose an iterative concept mapping framework to assess the values that people associate with responsibly releasing genetically engineered plants beyond the laboratory.

Team Profile
The North Carolina State University Genetic Engineering and Society IGEM team is made up of a diverse group of PhD students whose interests range from genetics to public administration and from entomology to communications. The team’s goal is to create a web-based interactive mapping tool that can be used to address the potential impacts a genetically engineered product has on societal and environmental issues ranging from diseases to food shortages to species decline to job creation, all of which encompass diverse audiences.
Project
Our IGEM team has created an iterative concept mapping framework to generate and assess the ethical, legal, social, and environmental outcomes associated with releasing genetically engineered products, like glowing plants, beyond the laboratory.
