Workshop Concept
With the workshop we intend not only to inform as many people as possible about synthetic biology but we also want to encourage them to start a thinking process. By giving them background information as well as examples of synthetic biology a basis for further discussions about ethics as well as security and safety is laid.
Theory:
The theoretical part that consists of three sub-presentation imparts knowledge about basic principles of genetics, as well as genetic
DNA, RNA, proteins
Practical experiments including:
Isolation of banana DNA
GFP-Hydra
Blue white screening
Bioluminescent bacteria
BioBrick Designing with paper parts
Discussion:
Safety and security aspects of synthetic biology Moral issues

Report First Workshop
Our first workshop took place on Friday, September 2, in the Biocenter of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University. Our participants, aged 18 to 63 had little (based on high school) to no knowledge about the basics of molecular biology. Therefore we explained the localisation and function of DNA in the cell, the central dogma of molecular biology (DNA->RNA->Proteins)as well as the organisation of genes and operons in detail. Knowing now what DNA is, how it is the
