We, team Todai makes synthetic biology known to Japanse people who do not
quite understand biology.
People in Japan feel repulsion toward GM food, because of their vague
understanding of genetic engineering. Todai-Tokyo contribute deepening
thier understanding by the following activities. Todai-Tokyo opened a
Japanese website that explains the basics of synthetic biology and the
answers to the most frequent asked questions about genetic engineering, in
an easy-to-understand format. (In addition, we also demonstrate how GM
food contribute human society through our "bread making with GM yeast"
project.(

We successfully enlightened general public for synthetic biology.
