Project design in synthetic biology

Description

Objectives in terms of knowledge (course content):

Students work in small groups on the design of their own genetically engineered system. The project consists of several phases: brainstorming, bibliographic research, system design, reflection on implementations, and presentation of the project. The students are supervised by the teacher throughout the project and present their work in front of the class, actively participating in discussions during the various presentations. Students are required to consider the societal and environmental impact of their project
