<p>As iGEMmers, we are quite familiar with lab work. However, since we were aiming to create a system that may be used in the tailings ponds, we wanted to speak with a few individuals from the industry. We wanted input on how we could ensure the safety and usefulness of our system in an oil sands setting, from an industry perspective. The industry perspective was critical; we as undergraduate students were very familiar with biological systems, but the same cannot be said for those who work in industry. We wanted to gather diverse opinions from people with diverse backgrounds.

Purpose

This year the Calgary iGEM team began our project with human practices in mind. While we had established a research objective to produce a biosensor and bioreactor system, we wanted to ensure that our system was relevant to the inudstry it would be employed in. As well we wanted to ensure that academic, government, and industry professional's concerns were taken into consideration during the design process of our system. In order to best accomplish this, we conducted interviews with two leaders in oilsands reclamation. We approached a major oilsands company, Suncor, and talked to Christine Daly, an Ecologist who works in Environmental Cleanup. We then approached Ryan Radke, the president of BioAlberta. BioAlberta focuses on bringing biotechnology to our province and develop these in an industrial setting. His experience allowed us to better predict if our project would have any concerns amongst legislaters and industrial leaders.
