<p>ShapeOur contribution includes an extensive collection of optimized protocols designed to provide future iGEM teams with easy-to-use starting materials. We've refined these protocols and compiled them into comprehensive summaries, incorporating our experiences, tips, and tricks to make synthetic biology more accessible and enjoyable, especially for newer iGEM teams. Additionally, we have integrated safety and security standards into the protocols, making it easier to introduce the handling of human biomaterials in the iGEM competition while ensuring compliance with necessary regulations. This collection is intended to streamline the workflow and empower teams to approach their projects with greater confidence. </p>
<H4 text="Our Reporter System PreCL"/>
<p>To effectively test different Prime Editing systems and pegRNAs targeting the CF-specific genomic mutation (delF508), we developed a highly sensitive reporter system called PreCL (Prime Editing Conceptualizable Light). This system is designed to detect fluorescence signals across a variety of devices, offering flexibility in measurement and ensuring reliable, high-quality results. </p>
<p>PreCL is characterized by its high sensitivity, with minimal background noise, allowing for precise and accurate detection. Additionally, it closely mimics the CF genomic context, making it highly relevant for CF-specific research. The system features an easy-to-read output, simplifying the interpretation of experimental data, and is designed for constitutive performance, ensuring consistency across tests. </p>
<p>One of the standout features of PreCL is its modular design, which allows it to be adapted to different genomic contexts, extending its utility beyond CF research. While it is optimized for Prime Editing, it also has potential applications for broader genetic approaches such as CRISPR/Cas and base editing. With these advantages, PreCL offers a powerful and versatile tool that facilitates testing and enhances the precision and efficiency of genetic research. </p>

<H4 text="Our pegRNA Architecture"/>
<p>In our research, we optimized the structure of pegRNAs to develop a stable and efficient variant with enhanced sensitivity. By incorporating the novel RNA structural motif TevoPreQ1, we improved the stability and complex formation of the pegRNA, ensuring higher Prime Editing throughput. Additionally, we introduced silent edits to promote mismatch repair, further boosting Prime Editing efficiency. By fine-tuning the length of the Reverse Transcriptase Template and Primer Binding Sequence, we ensured optimal pegRNA performance, maximizing editing efficiency. </p>

<p>That is why in this section we focus on the aspects of entrepreneurship that are crucial for the potential successful realisation of our project to develop new therapies for cystic fibrosis. A pivotal moment was our interview with Nicole Friedlein, which gave us valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in the field of biomedical innovation. The discussions in the interview encouraged us to look more closely at the regulatory requirements, which is why one team member completed a GxP course and subsequently trained the team in this area. In addition, we conducted further interviews in the area of entrepreneurship to gain a better understanding of the practical aspects of business development. These experiences not only enriched the scientific depth of our project, but also sharpened our perspective on the practical implementation and market launch of new therapies.
</p>
<H4 id="ent-heading" text="Our Entrepreneurship"/>
<LoremShort/>
<p>In conclusion, the entrepreneurial journey of developing RNA-based gene therapy for cystic fibrosis, as outlined in our experiences and interviews with industry founders, demonstrates that entrepreneurship is not only an interesting possibility but a necessary avenue to transform scientific innovation into real-world solutions. Our approach has been shaped by the challenges and opportunities in the biotech field, from understanding regulatory frameworks like GxP to navigating complex market dynamics and funding challenges. </p>
<p>Through key interviews, such as the one with Nicole Friedlein, we have gained insights into the pivotal role of regulatory standards in scaling our project. The completion of GxP training by one team member reflects our commitment to ensuring compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), both of which are essential for advancing from proof-of-concept to clinical trials. This foundation is crucial for building investor confidence and meeting regulatory requirements.</p>
<p>Additionally, market evaluations reveal a significant opportunity for our therapy, particularly targeting the unmet needs of cystic fibrosis patients who do not respond to current treatments like CFTR modulators. The growing gene therapy market presents a strong case for our innovation, although we are aware of the competitive landscape dominated by companies like Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Our unique value lies in providing a more permanent solution for patients not served by existing treatments. </p>
<p>Interviews with founders from companies such as PlasmidFactory and RNhale have provided valuable lessons on transitioning from research to commercialization. The importance of building networks, securing diverse funding sources, and maintaining flexibility to adapt to market feedback are key takeaways that will guide our next steps. Establishing strategic partnerships and seeking early engagement with regulatory bodies will be essential as we prepare for clinical trials and eventual market entry.</p>
<p>To align our long-term vision of revolutionizing cystic fibrosis treatment with immediate milestones, we will continue optimizing our lipid nanoparticle delivery system, pursuing regulatory compliance, and engaging with the cystic fibrosis community to refine our product. Our focus on both the scientific and business aspects ensures that we are building a strong foundation for success in bringing this innovative therapy to market, improving the lives of patients with cystic fibrosis. </p>

<p>To evaluate the cytotoxicity of our LNPs, we conducted an MTT assay, which measures the metabolic activity of cells. This assay is based on the ability of living cells to reduce MTT, a yellow tetrazolium salt, into purple formazan crystals through NAD(P)H-dependent enzymes. Cells were treated with various concentrations of LNPs, and after dissolving the formazan crystals with DMSO, we measured absorbance. Higher absorbance values indicate greater cell viability. Our results showed no significant reduction in cell viability across all LNP concentrations, demonstrating that the LNPs did not induce cytotoxic effects. This finding is crucial for ensuring that the LNPs are safe for biological use, supporting their potential in clinical applications such as drug delivery and gene therapy. Overall, the MTT assay provided strong evidence of the biocompatibility of our LNPs. </p>

summary: [<p>After our team came together and thoroughly explored various project ideas, we decided to focus on gene therapy for cystic fibrosis, largely due to a personal connection with a close friend affected by the condition. Up until that point, we had not yet developed a concrete concept, so we sought to engage with experts in order to broaden our understanding of the latest advancements in gene therapy.
In addition to grasping the importance of a functional gene therapy, we delved into different strategies regarding the underlying mechanisms and the best delivery methods for the therapy. While the general topic of our project was clear, we now faced the challenge of working out the details. At this stage, we decided to consult further experts in the field of cystic fibrosis to deepen our knowledge and refine our approach.
Through connections with the University Hospital Münster and our local hospital, we aimed to gain a comprehensive overview of the clinical applications of gene therapy and the current research in cystic fibrosis. These consultations with specialists allowed us to acquire valuable insights into different therapeutic options and laid the groundwork for our own exploration of potential strategies, particularly in the area of prime editing as a promising treatment avenue.</p>,

summary:[<p>After receiving valuable feedback from both clinical and academic experts, we decided to focus on optimizing Prime Editing strategies for cystic fibrosis treatment. Both experts not only encouraged us in our approach but also provided insightful feedback, which we will integrate into our future project design. Through these discussions, we learned that current treatment strategies are urgently needed in real life but are limited in precision and efficiency.
Additionally, we gained key insights into lung-specific delivery methods, which inspired us to pursue lung-specific correction of the CFTR gene, a critical aspect of cystic fibrosis therapy.
At this stage, we are eager to expand our perspectives by seeking input from industry and business professionals, while also striving to increase our local impact. To evaluate this impact, we plan to develop a survey aimed at understanding the interest in gene therapy and the community’s knowledge of cystic fibrosis within our local area. This will help us gauge awareness and ensure our project addresses both scientific and societal needs effectively.</p>>

Early in our research, we committed to a human-centric approach, recognizing the importance of working according to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards. At this point, we also identified key Special Prizes to aim for, including the Biosafety and Security Award, Best New Basic Part, and Best Integrated Human Practices. To further advance our project, we partnered with Stemcell Technologies, whose technical support provided valuable insights. This collaboration allowed us to explore the cultivation of primary human nasal epithelial cells, which are crucial for testing our synthetic biology components and Prime Editing technologies. In line with this, we expanded our biosafety standards to ensure compliance with higher safety levels and enhanced our understanding of preclinical trial-like experiments. Moreover, we are committed to raising awareness within our local community while also seeking to broaden our impact internationally. This dual focus helps us ensure both the safety and societal relevance of our project as we move forward.

summary: [<p>
During the early stages of our project, we discovered through our survey that while many participants were open to trying gene therapies, they lacked adequate knowledge about them. Additionally, most respondents were unfamiliar with cystic fibrosis, highlighting the need for greater awareness. Driven by a desire to educate the people of Bielefeld, we collaborated with Mukoviszidose e.V. Deutschland to support the Muko Move campaign, a successful initiative aimed at raising awareness about cystic fibrosis. On the scientific front, we elevated our project to a new level. With valuable feedback from Mattijs Bulcaen at the University of Leuven, we incorporated a novel RNA structural element into our Prime Editing complex, significantly improving its efficiency. After successfully optimizing the pegRNA, we moved forward with enhancing the Prime Editing protein complex. Our goal is to make Prime Editing not only safer but also easier to apply, so that our research can benefit more than just cystic fibrosis patients, ultimately broadening the impact of our work.
