[[Image:Portada teamvalhp.jpg|right|500 px]]  Synthetic Biology is a revolutionary scientific discipline.
 +
The ability to design and construct new biological
 +
systems with useful properties opens up a challenging
 +
scenario for the technological development of humanity.
 +
However, new science needs new regulation, and
 +
Human Practices dealing with Synthetic Biology are
 +
needed in order to have an ethical, legal and regulatory
 +
framework allowing the development of this novel
 +
scientific area.

<span style="color:black; align:justify; font-size:11pt; font-family: Verdana">We strongly feel that <b>Human Practices</b> are becoming more and more important in science. Since iGEM competition began in 2004, the number of teams that include Human Practices in their projects has increased exponentially. That's why we are dedicating lots of time and efforts writing <b>a review about all topics</b> discussed in all Human Practices reports <b>from all iGEM teams and editions</b> regarding safety, ethics, patents, etc. Additionally, we have interviewed experts in the area so to know their opinion about these topics.<br>

'''Sins, Ethics and Biology, a Comprehensive Approach''' is

<br>

more than a review on Human Practices and Synthetic Biology: it emcompasses a classical review of scientific reports on Human Practices; the first comparative analysis of previous iGEM HP projects; interviews with well known experts; and the largest survey on ethics and synthetic biology ever made.

<span style="color:black; align:justify; font-size:11pt; font-family: Verdana">Furthermore, we have also prepared <html><a href="http://igemvalencia.questionpro.com" target="_blank"><b>a short survey</b></a></html> to see what people from many different social and scientific backgrounds think about these issues. We hope to get numerous and interesting data, as well as the largest compilation of Synthetic Biology definitions, so don't hesitate and <html><a href="http://igemvalencia.questionpro.com" target="_blank">fill it!</a></html>

We have prepared a classical review on scientific reports about Synthetic Biology and its ethical consequences. With more thant 30 references, you will get a complete overview of the present status of this new emerging field. Ideas of well-known scientist about different topics are gathered here: Definition of SB, The engineering principles of the field, Applications, new chemically different biomolecules, ethical problems with genetic engineering, Europe and USA and teaching and learning SB.

We are the first to study all the reports on previous iGEM editions, and gathered their conclusions in a single work. In this part of the book you will understand the ethical concerns of iGEM participants and its evolution during the whole life of the competition.

With more than 1100 answeres we have made the largest survey on Synthetic Biology of the history. It was adressed to a very different public including scientific and no scientific people, people from inside and outside the iGEM, and Students and Teachers from all over the world. To encourage iGEM participants to fill our survey we prepared ''medals'' that teams can put in their wiki according to their degree of participation. This Survey has also helped us to get the largest collection of Synthetic Biology's ''definitions''.

We have personally interviewed two well-known experts, Antoine Danchin and Markus Schmidt to know their opinions about every aspect of Synthetic Biology. They have also filled our survey so you can compare your answers to theirs, how close are your ideas to the ones of the experts?

Revision as of 23:05, 14 October 2009














Portada teamvalhp.jpg
Synthetic Biology is a revolutionary scientific discipline.

The ability to design and construct new biological systems with useful properties opens up a challenging scenario for the technological development of humanity. However, new science needs new regulation, and Human Practices dealing with Synthetic Biology are needed in order to have an ethical, legal and regulatory framework allowing the development of this novel scientific area.

Sins, Ethics and Biology, a Comprehensive Approach is more than a review on Human Practices and Synthetic Biology: it emcompasses a classical review of scientific reports on Human Practices; the first comparative analysis of previous iGEM HP projects; interviews with well known experts; and the largest survey on ethics and synthetic biology ever made.

The complete report will be edited as a book and you will be able to get it at bubok.com (more information coming soon) oras a free pdf file and its goal is to help researchers and people interested in SB to assess the new risks, possibilities, and ethical issues of this discipline.

The Review

We have prepared a classical review on scientific reports about Synthetic Biology and its ethical consequences. With more thant 30 references, you will get a complete overview of the present status of this new emerging field. Ideas of well-known scientist about different topics are gathered here: Definition of SB, The engineering principles of the field, Applications, new chemically different biomolecules, ethical problems with genetic engineering, Europe and USA and teaching and learning SB.

Human Practices: iGEM 2005-2008

We are the first to study all the reports on previous iGEM editions, and gathered their conclusions in a single work. In this part of the book you will understand the ethical concerns of iGEM participants and its evolution during the whole life of the competition.

The Survey

With more than 1100 answeres we have made the largest survey on Synthetic Biology of the history. It was adressed to a very different public including scientific and no scientific people, people from inside and outside the iGEM, and Students and Teachers from all over the world. To encourage iGEM participants to fill our survey we prepared medals that teams can put in their wiki according to their degree of participation. This Survey has also helped us to get the largest collection of Synthetic Biology's definitions.

The Interview

We have personally interviewed two well-known experts, Antoine Danchin and Markus Schmidt to know their opinions about every aspect of Synthetic Biology. They have also filled our survey so you can compare your answers to theirs, how close are your ideas to the ones of the experts?
