Romantic blue bears sweet fruit in the laboratory. Outside the lab, we also conducted
research on the
safety and public acceptance of this romance, at the same time, we popularized the knowledge of
synthetic biology to the public and cooperated with relevant enterprises.
In this part, we will introduce you to how our human practice interacts with society, and how to
continuously improve the project direction from the information obtained from enterprise visits. First
of all, we sent out questionnaires through online channels to investigate the public's understanding of
phycocyanin and its application in the market. According to the survey results, we invited schoolmates
to DIY phycocyanin cake activity in our school. In the meantime, we were invited to participate Hi&Fi
Asia-China 2021 (Health ingredients and Food ingredients) in National Exhibition and Convention Center
(Shanghai), actively communicating with Zhejiang Binmei Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Combining with the
baking activity results and enterprise communication, we decided the project objective is improving heat
resistance and stability of edible phycocyanin. Afterward, through business visit, consumer research and
relevant policy learning, we also toke some issues up with the experimental group and the modeling
group, such as food safety, processing technology, production cost and so forth. With the help of
professors and experts, we continue to optimize our experimental ideas and schemes.
The work of HP is the link that connects the whole team and complements each other with each department
to form an organic whole, which takes us further from our dream---Romantic blue spreads in every corner
of the world.
In HP work, we also actively convey the concept of synthetic biology to the public, expand the popularity
and influence of iGEM. It is important that inform the public that the role of synthetic biology in the
future development and progress of the world is immeasurable.
