Conferences at CREA

As part of our work on synthetic biology, we had the opportunity to attend a day of conferences and debates organized by the CREA (the Centre of Research in Applied Epistemiology).

During this day, synthetic biology was viewed and examined from every perspective. This of course includes the scientific point of view, but it also includes the historical point of view with the topic « historicity and innovation ». Finally, it includes the philosophical and the societal points of view with discussions on the evolution of our perception of living as well as the future implications of genetic engineering in our life. It was the occasion to talk about movements linked to the problem such as bio-hacking and bio-art.

This day was the occasion for us to realize the richness of synthetic biology. The subject is not limited to the scientific area but also deals with basic questions such as « How can we define life ? », « When can we say that we have created life? »... Our team members and instructors have debated a few of these questions. At no moment have we succeeded in finding a consensus on any answer. This shows the diversity of points of view and opinions raised by synthetic biology.

IGM Days

The laboratory which sponsores us, the IGM, organizes an yearly event called « the IGM Days ». During two days in June, the PhD and the postdoctoral researchs expose their research works. This year we had the opportunity to participate in this event and at the end of the first day we made a presentation of the iGEM competition, our equip and our project. This was the occasion to form tight bonds between our equip and the researchers of the laboratory.
