| − | <p>The safety of a project is always a very important part to take into account, especially if the project involves living organisms*. For that reason in our project we have taken all the safety precautions while working in the lab. Things like working on sterile conditions, using gloves or disposing waste in the corresponding container were the bases of our diary work lab, obviously. | + | <p>Hello world</p> |
| − | But with our project, AladDNA, we thought to make a step further and think about the safety of our circuit chassis, our genetically modify plant. We had to make a real effort in this due to that the special characteristics that our plant has:
| + | |
| − | # Drugs production. (enlace)
| + | |
| − | # Circuit activation by light at different wavelength.
| + | |
| − | # Functionality of both things named before in a germinated seed.
| + | |
| − | We want AladDNA to be a safe project for the environment and for people all over the world. (esto centrado y en cursiva)
| + | |
| − | To afford all the questions that appeared during the realization of the project we decided to talk to some experts in the area. Also we make some research in the field of legality of transgenic modify organisms and the regulation of the plant growing and production. To see in more detail click the buttons bellow.

| − | <p>Having other people opinion is always a good thing so we talk with two different experts, Carmelo López that guides us in the general legislation of a GMO and Jose Miguel Mullet…
| + | |
| − | First we talk to Carmelo López del Rincón, titular professor of the Biotechnology Department at the UPV. He imparts courses related to plants production and genetically modified food as well as courses of the GMO legislation.
| + | |
| − | He showed us the general legislation that a transgenic plant has to accomplish in Spain, Europe and internationally to be accepted and commercialized.
| + | |
| − | There are three levels of legislation that our transgenic plant will have to accomplish. The first one is the estate level, the second one is the EU although both are closely related and finally the international level that is ruled by the Cartagena treaty (enlace al doc).
| + | |
| − | Also we talked about possible measures that will improve and facilitate the introduction into the environment of our plant. The most highlight option was to locate our circuit into the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts will avoid that the production go out the cell and so secrete it into the environment. But main problems were found, for example the insertion of the DNA will have to be in a 100% effectiveness. Other issue that we found is that in seeds the chloroplasts are immature because they do not receive light and so they will not be working normally.
| + | |
| − | Finally we discard this option.</p>

| − | <p>In this submenu we are going to amplify the information obtained by the interview whi carmelo. So, we are going to talk with more detail about the specific laws in spain, europe and internatinally. (gift de obama)
| + | |
| − | Something to point out is that after researching and reading some documents we can observed that the main idea is the same. The law wants to protect people and the enviroment an avoid any incident cause by a GMO. We as a group human beings and citiziens, want that anyone or anything can be injure so for that we decided invest time to know how to avoid any kind of problem that may or may not occur with our genetically modify plant.
| + | |
| − | Lets begin with the Spanish law about GMO. It is controlled by the Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente. It is in charge of controlling the commercialization and voluntary liberation of the GMO in the environment in case that this organism produce medicines for human and veterinary use, as it is in our case (Chapter2, article3 from law 9/2003, de 25 April). Also the ministry collaborate and exchange information with the European Union that have an important role making the decisions.
| + | |
| − | One thing to keep in mind is that our project will be evaluated step by step so is very important to fill correctly all the attaches needed. This are the general data asked in the

| − | <p>After researching about all the conditions to handle and distribute our plant finally we come up with some conclusions to make AlaDNA a very very safety project.
| + | |
| − | First of all, our seedlings will germinate into a recipient, “the magic lamp” (enlace a magic lamp), a handling device that has been designed exclusively to put up with the growing seeds. The lamp will give to the seedlings the right light pulses controlling the optimal conditions to make a regular production of the drugs.
| + | |
| − | It is made taking into account all the details for instance the electronic part is isolated form the growing section. The system to close the device is hermetic so the seeds can go out until their need to be consumed. More info here.
| + | |
| − | (foto de la lamapara por la mitad y con un germinado)
| + | |
| − | Furthermore, we thought about the idea of growing our plant in a greenhouse to produce more drugs doses to supply a small village in a remote place in the world, for instance. This is also possible! With the respective bureaucracy and a close and hermetic greenhouse authorized for that kind of activity (quiza alguna palabra mas tecnica), it just will be necessary the seeds, the leds, a bit of water and… magic! The production made by a live organism avoids the big expenses on money that will suppose create in a difficult access place an industry to produce unlimited drugs.
| + | |
| − | The information is reduced to its minimal expression and the infrastructure is just a small seed!
| + | |
| − | If our chassis stay inside a controlled device and there is no intencionally liberation into the environment, there will be no problem at all. But, what happened if someone accidentally drop a seed into the wild… DISASTER!
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | No, it is just a joke! AlaDNA will pass for sure the controls of a transgenic plant. Moreover we think in a method of regulation in case that something happen. We can make our seed WHAT? (necesito un metodo que 1.evite que la semilla germine y por tanto que no se produzcca ningun medicamento o 2.que apenas germine se muera)(creo que acabaría de rematar toda la idea del safety)
| + | |
| − | The especial “what ever” regulator allow AladDNA to be also safe in case accidentally liberation.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Ok, now after reading all this restrictions that we make to our plant you might think, why all this restrictions to their plant? Well that is a good question.
| + | |
| − | AladDNA was thought as a perfect way to reduce to the minimum all the information needed for the production of drugs or any other substance but with a social propose: provide an easy, self-made, and cheap way to get closer the products need in specific situations.
| + | |
| − | Our aim is that no matter where you are, in a lost mountain, in a catastrophic area, in the middle of the desert or in the middle of the city in rush hour or even far away in the space, you can cover in a short period of time your necessity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The characteristic that AladDNA is for all users leads to the following point. As our project is think as a biofarmaceutical resourece, pointing out that the circuit can have any final biological production, we will need to study in a future al the drugs produced. This is even more complicated, it is easy to explain, just watch the graphic and the numbers in it… Xmillion dollars!?
