The Advancement of Human Practices

The Carnegie Mellon University 2014 iGEM team spent hundreds of man-hours to teach students, teachers, community members, and collaborate with other teams for heightening awareness on synthetic biology and promoting a scientific interface between the lab and society.

Our Greatest Achievements
  • Created the SynBio Educational Series, kits that will be distributed through DNAZone for K-12 students in the Pittsburgh area, and beta-tested with other 350 students and teachers reached in different cities and in Bolivia

  • Interviewed with the leading expert on remediation techniques used to eliminate estrogenic compounds in water, the director of the PostNatural History Museum, and a PhD Reverend on bioethics and genetic engineering

  • Hosted our first iGEM Meetup with five different teams from the Midwest and Northeast Region and collaborated with two teams in modeling and human practices
