As part of our project <PreCyse/> to develop a prime-editing complex to correct the F508del mutation in cystic fibrosis, we place great emphasis on safety at all stages of research. Our final construct will be tested in <aonClick={()=>goToPageAndScroll ('Cell Culture3H','/materials-methods')}> primary cultures of epithelial cells </a> obtained from nasal swabs, isolated from both patients and healthy individuals. To guarantee safety and ensure the highest level of precision and reliability of our results, we have introduced a series of carefully planned checkpoints during the experiments. These milestones allow for continuous monitoring, timely adjustments and validation at each critical stage. This ensures that potential issues are identified and addressed immediately, minimizing risk and improving the overall quality of the experimental results.

In our S2 laboratory, the harvested nasal epithelial cells that serve as primary cultures undergo a comprehensive HHH test (link zu primär Kulturen) to ensure their safety and suitability for further experiments. This test is crucial to ensure that we can subsequently work safely with these cells in the S1 range without the risk of contamination or unwanted release of biological material.

Bioethics is an interdisciplinary field of research that addresses ethical issues pertaining to the life sciences and medical research. It plays a pivotal role in contemporary research, particularly in projects that employ human samples or data. This is due to the fact that in these cases, the protection of the rights and dignity of the people involved is of the utmost importance <SupScrollLinklabel="16"/>. In order to ascertain the necessity for an ethics application, an interview was conducted with Eva-Maria Berens [link], the scientific director of the office of the Ethics Committee at Bielefeld University, as part of the current research project. Following a comprehensive review, it was concluded that an ethics application was not necessary for the specific research project. Nevertheless, a comprehensive patient consent form was developed in conjunction with Eva-Maria Berens to guarantee that the donors of their samples are adequately informed and provide their consent of their own volition. The document guarantees that all pertinent information regarding sample collection, utilisation and storage is provided in an intelligible format. Furthermore, an interview was conducted with Dr. Timm Weber [Link], a representative of the biobank, to discuss the topic of bioethics in greater depth. During the course of the interviews, the ethical aspects of sample storage and utilisation within the biobank were discussed in detail. Particular attention was paid to the responsible handling and protection of the rights of the test subjects. The discussion of bioethics in both interviews emphasises the relevance of ethical principles for research and ensures that it is conducted in accordance with the highest ethical standards.
