Attributions

Throughout the entire project cycle, our team members do made great effort. In addition, we would like to acknowledge the great people we interviewed, including cosmetic surgeon, experts experienced in skin regeneration scaffold research, firefighters, K12 biology researchers. We are also very grateful to Essex Company and some iGEM teams like SZPT-CHINA which closely cooperated with us. (Attribution)

Engineering Success

Our project went through multiple rounds of iterations (Design-Build-Test-Learn), which occurred in many modules and were ultimately successful.(Engineering)

Collaboration

Throughout the competition, our team maintained close collaboration with many teams. We have established a partnership with team SZPT-China that jointly promote the development of the project in the aspect of project design, experiments, modeling, human practices and education. And we held a meetup together which includes BNUZH-China, SZPT-CHINA, NEFU-China, HBUT-China and NWU-CHINA -A.(Collaborations)

Human Practices

BCAID is very closely related to human practice. Our inspiration was encouraged and supported in the process of HP.(Human-practices)

Proposed Implementation

Based on the project and the in-depth communication with the clinical experts, we have designed the specific application process of BCAID to use it together with the hardware that we have designed. BCAID is expected to be used in patients with large or difficult healing wounds.(Implementation)

Integrated Human Practices

We discussed our project with several firefighters, doctors and experts and adopted their opinions. We have posted various contents about synthetic biology and burn prevention to our social media accounts, and translated them into different languages, allowing us to reach a larger, more diverse audience.(Human-practices)

Project Modeling

We used Hill function, Michaelis-Menten equation and so on to mimic the biological processes include our Light Control System, Cellulose Degradation and our Wound Healing.(Model)

Proof of Concept

The function of each module of BCAID has been verified in the experiment and modeling process, and each module functions well. The operation effect of the whole system is as expected.(proof-of-concept)

Partnership

We have a deep partnership with the SZPT-CHINA team throughout the season. We have conducted in-depth cooperation in many fields, including project design, experiment, mathematical modeling, education, and integrated human practice.(Partnership)

Education and Communication

Education is a very important part of our human practice activities. Through various education methods and activities, we have publicized and introduced to tens of people through online and offline methods, and shared biological knowledge together with them.(Communication)
