Team:Macquarie Australia/Practices
Macquarie University took up the challenge of spreading the word of synthetic photosynthesise to all, focusing on a ‘science for everyone approach’. Therefore, a key aspect of our project is to increase the dialogue between synthetic biologists, industry and society. To execute this, our team reached out to industry through the Business Implementation Strategy, collaborated with other iGEM teams, engaged the public in ‘So You Think You Can Synthesise’, dispelled common myths about chlorophyll and its uses.
Here, we detail how we reached out to industry, integrating the findings into our prototype.

This program aims to bring students from all over the world to gain hands-on experience in the unique environment of being part of an iGEM team
Our team has successfully collaborated with other iGEM teams, enriching our own outreach activities as well as assisting other teams reach their goals.
