合成生物学与国际遗传工程机器大赛对培养大学生双创思维与能力的影响

Cultivation of college students'innovative and entrepreneurial thinking and ability based on Synthetic Biology and iGEM

摘要:

合成生物学是21世纪前沿交叉学科,是现代生物学最具发展空间的领域之一。随着合成生物学的迅速发展,国际基因工程机器大赛(International Genetically Engineered Machine,iGEM)应运而生。iGEM竞赛项目基于合成生物学学科基础,应用现代生物学技术手段,立足解决社区和身边的实际生物相关问题。近年来,随着参赛团队的不断增加,iGEM竞赛得到了广泛的关注与发展。本文基于合成生物学发展概况,通过对iGEM竞赛2018-2020年获奖项目情况进行分析,并结合西南交通大学iGEM团队的参赛经历,剖析iGEM竞赛在培养大学生双创思维和能力中的重要意义和实现途径。

Abstract:

Synthetic Biology is one of the most promising fields of modern Biology and a frontier interdisciplinary subject in the 21st century.With the rapid development of synthetic biology,the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition has emerged.The iGEM competition,based on the subject foundation of Synthetic Biology,intends to solve the biological problems in our daily life by applying modern biological technology.In recent years,with the continuous increase of participating teams,the iGEM competition has received extensive attention and achieved great progress.On the basis of the development of Synthetic Biology,we analyzed the 2018-2020 award-winning projects of the iGEM competition and illustrated the role and significance of the iGEM competition in cultivating college students'innovative thinking and ability with the participation experience of the iGEM team of Southwest Jiaotong University as an example.
