Synthetic biology is an exciting and upcoming field, but not one without its fair share of controversy. In order to increase awareness and generate dialogue of this discipline, the SPSingapore iGEM team held a genetic engineering workshop for fellow university students, as well as conducted an interview with a professor on his views and insights.</i>

The SPS iGEM Team of 2015 hosted a genetic engineering workshop for students from the Faculty of Science on 5th August 2015, in the Active Learning Room and the SPS Wet Lab. The workshop aimed to equip science students with an understanding of both the techniques of synthetic biology, and its risks and rewards. Participants were given the opportunity to be immersed in both the theoretical and wet lab components of synthetic biology.

Human Practices



Synthetic biology is an exciting and upcoming field, but not one without risks and controversy. Hence, there is a need to increase awareness and promote dialogue amongst the community.

To accomplish this, our team conducted a one-day hands-on workshop to introduce basic concepts of genetic engineering to fellow university students. We also spoke extensively with a professor to glean his insights and views pertaining to synthetic biology.
