Summer is officially over and it’s the start of a brand new semester. In conjunction with the enrolment of the 100th year intake, we conducted a few workshops on the subject of synthetic biology in collaboration with the College of Life Sciences. Prof. Sun Der Shan and Prof. Woon Peng Yeong coordinated the workshops while our teammates operated as the tutors to the participants. Our team members not only carried out and learnt their project; they also shared their experiences with others and promote synthetic biology to the general public.

During the 1st day of the workshops, we managed to cover various aspects of synthetic biology, from the introduction of synthetic biology including the history, current applications and future directions as well as the iGEM competition. On the other hand, we also performed the basic techniques in molecular biology such as plasmid isolation, enzyme digestion, Polymerase Chain Reaction, gel electrophoresis, insert preparation, gel extraction, ligation and transformation, cloning, autoclaving, flaming, primer design, growth curves, as well as screening techniques to the participants.

The highlight of the event is the plasmid isolation and enzyme digestion workshop held on the 2nd day. All the participants were given a chance to perform in the activity. We, as the tutors assisted them throughout the whole process. By the end of the workshop, they learned to cut a plasmid with restriction enzyme, to paste DNA with ligase and PCR amplification.

Synthetic Biology Fair

Date: 30th September 2011

Location: College of Life Sciences, Tzu Chi University

September is ending. In conjunction with the University ECA day, we also had posters exhibition showcasing our projects as well as those focusing on the subject of synthetic biology. Not only have our fellow school mates, even professors also interested in knowing our project. We share our stories our experiences to them. One team and one brilliant idea made up one great afternoon.


On the other hand, questionnaires were randomly distributed to 60 samples during the fair, result shows that 90% of them were thoroughly inspired by our idea and 10% of them even professed that they would like to join us again for the event next year! In a nutshell, the people in Tzu Chi University now have a better understanding on the subject Synthetic Biology!
