<H4 text="Primary Culture Safety Guideline"/>
<p>In the early phases of our project, we encountered several challenges while working to bring it together. We quickly decided to focus on human biomaterials, specifically cultivating primary human nasal epithelial cells from both Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients and wild-type controls. To ensure compliance, we carefully evaluated the safety regulations of our institution and government. Our contribution includes three key elements: </p>
<ol>
<li> A guideline outlining the proper handling of biomaterials according to BSL2 standards, along with additional safety measures to ensure secure experimental design. </li>
<li> A clinical trial-style questionnaire designed to assess the medical history of participants donating nasal epithelial cells. </li>
<li> A hygiene protocol aimed at improving safety and cleanliness standards in various institutions and sanitary facilities. </li>
</ol>
<PDF link="https://static.igem.wiki/teams/5247/pdfs/primary-culture-guideline.pdf" name="primary-culture-guideline.pdf"/>
</Section>
<PatientContribution/>
<p>By contributing these frameworks, we enable future iGEM teams to overcome potential limitations that may arise during project development. These resources provide clear guidelines and tools to ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and efficient workflow, allowing teams to focus on advancing their research without facing similar challenges. </p>

<p>56.76% of respondents reported that they are related to someone with CF, while 43.24% stated they are affected by CF themselves. This likely reflects the fact that many parents completed the survey on behalf of their children, as CF is typically diagnosed at a young age. The high involvement of parents underscores how the disease impacts not just the patients themselves but also their families, who are deeply involved in the day-to-day management of CF. This highlights the importance of considering both the perspectives of young patients and their families when discussing gene therapy and CF treatments, as parents often play a critical role in decision-making regarding new treatment options.</p>

<H4 id="coll-heading" text="Collaborations as part of a integrated human practice - but why?"/>
<p>Collaboration is at the heart of innovative science, especially in projects with significant societal and clinical implications such as ours. By actively engaging with stakeholders across disciplines, we ensured that our work addressed real-world needs and took ethical and practical considerations into account.</p>
<p>For example, partnerships with patients and advocacy groups provided a deeper understanding of living with CF and shaped our patient-centered approach. Discussions with medical professionals highlighted the clinical challenges and regulatory requirements we needed to address. Collaborating with other iGEM teams allowed us to share methodologies, refine protocols, and integrate diverse expertise into our project.</p>
<p>These interactions didn't just guide the scientific direction of our work - they emphasised the wider impact of synthetic biology. By combining our technical efforts with stakeholder input, we ensured that our solutions were not only innovative, but also feasible, ethical and impactful. Collaboration thus became the foundation of a truly integrated human practice, bridging the gap between science, society and application.</p>

<p>The University of Linköping is one of the bigger universities located in Sweden. Since its inception in 1975, it has become a very innovative and highly renowned institution. </p>
<p>The project of Linköpings iGEM 2024 team: (description taken from their website)</p>
<p>“The product composition will depend on the enzyme missing or malfunctioning in each of the disease types. We’re going to target autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, as this is the one our friend is struggling with. We will focus on the consequences of mutations in three different genes (TGM1, ALOXE3, ALOX12B) that can underlie this condition [5]. However, if our approach turns out to be successful, after some adjustments, the protocol could be applied for the remaining types of the disease as well. First of all, we’ll engineer E. coli to produce the chosen enzymes encoded by the corresponding genes we chose: transglutaminase 1, Epidermis-type lipoxygenase 3, Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase and then we will purify them from the bacteria. Once this system is established and optimized, we’ll proceed to design a functioning delivery system that we will encapsulate the enzymes in. We have decided to produce modulated liposomes that will be able to keep the enzymes active while transporting them. Once the target skin layer is reached, the liposomes will fuse with the membranes of the cells of interest, delivering the product to its final destination. Functioning liposomes packed with the produced enzymes will then be incorporated into a suitable medium to facilitate the topical application for the patients”. </p>
<H4 text="iGEM team Liu project our idea"/>
<p>We first made contact with the team of LIU via email, due to both our teams’ interest in working with LNP based delivery systems. It rapidly became apparent that our two teams could benefit from a corporation especially since the team of LiU was working on an LNP handbook at the time.</p>
<H5 text="Biosafety and Security"/>
<p>Early in our project, we faced challenges working with human biomaterials, particularly cultivating primary human nasal epithelial cells from both CF patients and controls. To address these, we made three key contributions:</p>
<ol>
<li>A guideline for handling biomaterials in compliance with BSL2 standards.{/* [Link guideline] */}</li>
<li>A clinical trial-style questionnaire to assess donor medical history.{/* [Link Link questionaire] */}</li>
<li>A hygiene protocol to improve safety and cleanliness in research facilities.{/* [Link hygiene protocoll] */}</li>
</ol>
<p>
These frameworks ensure that future iGEM teams can overcome similar challenges, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance while streamlining their workflow.
We contributed an extensive collection of optimized protocols for future iGEM teams, integrating our experiences to make synthetic biology more accessible. By embedding safety standards, we enable teams to confidently work with human biomaterials, ensuring regulatory compliance and efficient progress.
</p>
<H5 text="PreCL Reporter System "/>
<p>To test Prime Editing systems targeting the CF-specific delF508 mutation, we developed the PreCL reporter system [Link engineering of PreCL], which offers high sensitivity, minimal noise, and precise fluorescence detection. This versatile tool, adaptable for CRISPR and base editing, enhances the precision of genetic research, particularly in CF studies.
We optimized pegRNA design{/* [linkpegrna] */} by incorporating the TevoPreQ1 RNA motif, improving stability and Prime Editing efficiency. Our innovations, including silent edits and fine-tuned sequences, boost editing accuracy, providing a robust tool for genetic research. </p>
<H5 text="Prime Editing Technology PrimeGuide & Lipid Nanoparticle System AirBuddy "/>
<p>Our PrimeGuide{/* [link] */}system introduces a novel eukaryotic RNA-binding DNA-nickase, a smaller alternative to Cas9. Enhanced with a more efficient Reverse Transcriptase and optimized RNA-binding proteins, this advancement improves Prime Editing accuracy and safety for genetic mutation correction.
We developed AirBuddy{/* [link] */}, a lung-specific RNA/DNA delivery system optimized for gene therapies targeting lung diseases. With low cytotoxicity, efficient cellular uptake, and cost-effective storage, AirBuddy revolutionizes lung disease treatments by providing a safer and more effective delivery method. </p>
<H5 text="Wiki Development"/>
<p>To support future iGEM teams, we developed troubleshooting guides for HTML and CSS{/* [link] */}, making wiki development more accessible and easier to manage.
Through these contributions, we provide valuable tools and frameworks to advance synthetic biology, ensuring safer, more efficient research and therapeutic development for the iGEM community. </p>

<p>Our goal was to educate children about the challenges faced by CF patients, especially the ones with lung problems. The knowledge which we gained at the <a onClick={() => goToPageAndScroll ('commworkshop', '/contribution')}> Science Communication Workshop </a> as part of the <a onClick={() => goToPageAndScroll ('bfh-european-meetup', '/contribution')}> BFH Meetup </a> was the optimal basis to plan our outreach to the public. We engaged the children with activities like coloring lung images and conducting experiments to experience and understand lung related symptoms.
One such experiment involved creating a lung model from balloons and straws, demonstrating the difficulty patients have in breathing by having the children blow into the straws. Additionally, we set up a tank with a mixture of starch and water to simulate mucus and placed a ball on top. The children tried to blow the ball across the surface, illustrating how hard it is for air to move through mucus compared to water, where the ball moved much more easily.
The very little ones could paint coloring pages which we designed and printed for them. For the adults, we provided information about our project and discussed the implications and potential of gene therapy for cystic fibrosis. These conversations as well as the results of our <a onClick={() => goToPageAndScroll ('our-surveys-on-cystic-fibrosis-and-gene-therapy', '/human-practices')}> survey on CF and gene therapy </a> which was conducted events like these made it abundantly clear that degrees of knowledge on this topic widely vary throughout the public and we were happy to fill in the existing gaps in people's knowledge and exchange points of view on gene therapy.

<p>As the iGEM Bielefeld-CeBiTec team, our project aimed to develop a gene therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) with a human-centered approach.
From the beginning, we engaged extensively with CF patients, clinicians, regulatory bodies, and researchers to ensure that our solution
addressed real-world needs. We established continuous feedback loops to refine and evolve our project at every stage, incorporating insights
from diverse stakeholders to create a responsible, impactful, and ethically sound therapy. Our mission was not just to develop a technical
solution but to create one that aligns with societal values and patient expectations. </p>
<p>Our integrated Human Practices approach was not just an addition to our project—it was the foundation on which every decision was built. By actively
engaging with cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, healthcare professionals, and regulatory experts, we ensured that their feedback directly shaped our
project, from design to implementation. Our patient-centered, globally focused approach not only addresses disparities in CF treatment but also sets
a new standard for accessibility and ethical reflection. We extensively documented our methodologies, including CF cell culture protocols and stakeholder
engagement processes, to empower future teams to build upon our success. Our thoughtful integration of diverse stakeholder insights, combined with expert
guidance in regulatory compliance, nanoparticle research, and gene therapy, ensures that our project is responsible, scientifically sound, and globally
impactful. </p>
<p>As the iGEM Bielefeld-CeBiTec team, we adopted a human-centered approach and provided a comprehensive framework of <strong>seven reglementations</strong> for future iGEM teams, establishing <strong>seven frameworks</strong> that were validated through our project. Our methodology was shaped by over <strong>80 interviews with stakeholders and institutions</strong> , creating a comprehensive and multidimensional perspective on the complex challenge of gene therapy for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Through <strong>33 key interviews</strong> , we navigated <strong>seven thematic areas</strong> simultaneously, incorporating <strong>five iterative feedback loops</strong> to ensure the project’s refinement at every stage.
</p>
<p> Our approach offers future iGEM teams and the synthetic biology community a valuable blueprint for responsible and ethical project development. By actively engaging with CF patients, clinicians, researchers, and regulatory bodies, we ensured that real-world needs and societal values were central to our project's evolution. Our efforts culminated in a thoughtful, scientifically sound solution, setting new standards for accessibility, patient focus, and regulatory compliance. Future teams can leverage our documented methodologies to further their own impact, ensuring that innovation remains aligned with the needs of those it serves.
