===Lab in a cell video===
-
As mentioned on the Meeting in Carmona we are planing to develop a code for our communitiy:<br />
+
-
Here we present you the near final aspirational code developed at the DIYbio european congress in London, 8th may. <br />
+
<html>
-
*Know you don’t know everything
+
-
*Recognize the complexity and dynamics of living systems and our responsibility towards them
+
-
*Respect humans and all living systems
+
-
*Listen and respond to concerns
+
-
*Adopt safe practices
+
-
*Enjoy your work
+
-
*Strive to increase public understandings of the methods, results and implications of the 21th century biology
+
-
*Emphasizes the sharing of ideas, knowledge, data and results
+
-
This  code draft was created by several young scientists and amateur biology enthusiasts. We all had the feeling, that public perception of our intentions and actions are distorted and that this need to be clarified. Many journalists linked us in top articles with bioterrorism for example, which is totally wrong and does neither help us nor the public opinion about science in general.<br />
+
-
We want to present ourselves to the public, as we are and hope that this honest and upright approach can change opinions. Further, we plan to create an active, free and open international community for biologists and enthusiasts, to exchange ideas, travel around to learn from other and to help and teach each other. For this community we need a recognizable and distinct appearance. We thought, a code, or an oath which we voluntarily make, clearly telling who we are, what we want and don’t want and what we are doing will provide this appearance and increase the value of the biologist in general.<br />
+
-
The Code above was just a first start to find a common ground. It needs to be elaborated upon and there will probably be several sub codes of conduct in future, adapted to local needs and laws.<br />
+
-
iGEM would be a good forum, to promote the idea among scientist and public and build a long lasting community. It has to be emphasized here, that this code should become a universal one, for all biologists, not only restricted to iGEM or the DIYbio community. This will guarantee longevity and a bigger impact of the code and the community in future.

==  What can the Lab in a Cell do?  ==

We are creating a genetically engineered organism that will work as a tool for the expression of any desired His-tagged protein, plus a lysis casette and a precipitator that binds to his-tags on one end and the plastic of pipette-tips on the other, making washing and purification a simple process with no need for either centrifuges or purification columns.  If successful, this will drastically improve the on-site impact of synthetic biology, taking the lab to where it is needed - even if that is a long way away from high-tech facilities. In order to get the desired protein, all that is needed will be a plasmid encoding the wanted protein with an added his-tag and the light-sensitive promoter in front which can be specifically induced by our light switch. If the principle proves sound, it may even be introduced to yeast cultures, enabling the researcher to take the needed cultures with him in lyophilized form, making even refrigerators unnecessary – just add water + sugar and the needed proteins can be expressed and purified by means of a few handheld devices such as a thermometer, an LED-set with the specified wavelengths and pipettes. Imagine being able to get all the enzymes necessary for cloning from powders, requiring no more than a dry place for storage and a few simple devices and ingredients for the activation of our tool:
 +
 
 +
- an LED device able to give off six specific wavelengths
 +
 
 +
- an incubator (although the right choice of host-organisms may also enable a field researcher to use his own body temperature)
 +
 
 +
- a pipette and a couple of tips
 +
 
 +
- some wash- and elution buffer
 +
 
 +
- plastic tubes
 +
 
 +
Although not a stand-alone creation, we believe we can give a nifty little piece of equipment to the community of synthetic biologists and pharmacists, saving time and effort for small-scale experimentation and on-site research as well as facilitating low budget pharmaceutical research and production, a boon to places where access to equipment and consumables is limited.

What can the Lab in a Cell do?

We are creating a genetically engineered organism that will work as a tool for the expression of any desired His-tagged protein, plus a lysis casette and a precipitator that binds to his-tags on one end and the plastic of pipette-tips on the other, making washing and purification a simple process with no need for either centrifuges or purification columns. If successful, this will drastically improve the on-site impact of synthetic biology, taking the lab to where it is needed - even if that is a long way away from high-tech facilities. In order to get the desired protein, all that is needed will be a plasmid encoding the wanted protein with an added his-tag and the light-sensitive promoter in front which can be specifically induced by our light switch. If the principle proves sound, it may even be introduced to yeast cultures, enabling the researcher to take the needed cultures with him in lyophilized form, making even refrigerators unnecessary – just add water + sugar and the needed proteins can be expressed and purified by means of a few handheld devices such as a thermometer, an LED-set with the specified wavelengths and pipettes. Imagine being able to get all the enzymes necessary for cloning from powders, requiring no more than a dry place for storage and a few simple devices and ingredients for the activation of our tool:

- an LED device able to give off six specific wavelengths

- an incubator (although the right choice of host-organisms may also enable a field researcher to use his own body temperature)

- a pipette and a couple of tips

- some wash- and elution buffer

- plastic tubes

Although not a stand-alone creation, we believe we can give a nifty little piece of equipment to the community of synthetic biologists and pharmacists, saving time and effort for small-scale experimentation and on-site research as well as facilitating low budget pharmaceutical research and production, a boon to places where access to equipment and consumables is limited.
