<p>A significant number of people have participated in our process of engineering, economy, Society & Politics and imaginary. We can categorize them into four types: Expert, Entrepreneur, Partner, User.</p>
<p>Intriguingly, when we initially were brainstorming, we started from the imaginary and social need-the traditional culture of burning incense and its miraculous effects, and a call for long-term, non-invasive, patient-friendly drug administration. We designed our synthetic system based on our goal. And when we were implementing our project, going from engineering to economy, Society & Politics and imaginary, we kept reflecting on our engineering design and improving it through the information we collected, finally resulting in a product that integrated lab concept and social reality. Also, by deploying the onion method, we can have an organized view of how we integrated knowledge from different fields into our project, ensuring a true understanding of the project and its interaction with real world from a comprehensive perspective.</p>
Dr Liu Zhihua is an expert in intestinal homeostasis regulation, focusing on the interaction between host and microbiota. The team consulted Dr Liu Zhihua for the choice of yeast chassis. Dr Liu’s insights led to the attention on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a safe and hugely studied yeast strain, and the relevant research “Self-tunable engineered yeast probiotics for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease”, which was quite inspiring for our project. We finally chose Saccharomyces cerevisiae to engineer, and deployed the innate mating pathway for our design.
