<h1>Inclusivity at and through CIDosis </h1>

<h5>Sponsors</h5>

We want to give a special thanks to all of our sponsors this year! Without them and their support, this project would not have been possible.

We are a group of passionate students who want to use synthetic biology to solve pressing societal issues. Our team consists of students from seven different academic fields, ranging from philosophy to nanoscience, and with six different nationalities. The team is internally divided in different subgroups that specialize in different aspects of the project, such as dry and wet lab, human practices, funding and entrepreneurship, and outreach. This allows us to go further on each topic, as it allows each team member to devote most of their time to a specific team, while at the same time managing to participate in other subgroups. This allows in-depth work on a multitude of areas, while simultaneously keeping everyone in the loop. Furthermore, we are all part of the lab team. We find such an approach to be necessary in order to avoid that just a few members hold all the expertise of the project backbone.

The most important aspect of our team navigation is our flat hierarchical structure. We all have an equal vote, and all our decisions have been made collectively throughout our project.

We would like to thank the Department of Plant Science and Environmental Sciences (PLEN) for all they have done for us, from allowing us into the laboratory during uncertain times where laboratory space was limited. Thank you for letting us use all the equipment we needed and admitting us into not just one, but two offices that were large enough for our group to work in despite the regulations caused by the global pandemic, Covid-19. A huge thank you is also in order for all the help we have gotten in terms of safety tours, information about regulations, and more from the staff at PLEN and all the scientific and managerial help we have received. Furthermore, PLEN also supplied us with our awesome sweatshirts, which we appreciate very much.</div>

<h3> Skin color </h3>

−
<div class="flex-txt">In light of the movement against racism, we are trying to design our patch such that it is suitable for all skin colour and types. The recent mobilization for equal rights and anti-racism has forced all of us to un-learn years of subconscious perception of what “skin colour” looks like since our primary school days. The CIDosis team, while designing the colour of the patch, decided that we would like to make a palette with different skin colours so that it camouflages with the skin and does not serve as a constant reminder to the patients of their disease.
+
<div class="flex-txt">Our project would not have been possible without the financial aid that the Novo Nordisk Foundation provided us through their iGEM specific grant aimed towards Danish Universities. We are incredibly grateful for having received this grant and would never have achieved our goals the way that we have without it. Thank you so much!
−
However, in the survey we sent out to patients asking them their preferred patch colour and design, we were surprised to see that, out of 56 respondents, 50% wanted the patch to be transparent while only 16% wanted it to match their skin tone.

−
Since the patch might change colour to shades of red or green, our patch is not colour-blind friendly. We can either decide which colour is more friendly for all people or depend on the app to capture the right colour and monitor.
+
As one of our largest sponsors, we would like to emphasize the huge contribution that the Promega Corporation has made to the CIDosis project. From being selected to receive the 2020 Promega iGEM grant and having our Virtual Jamboree registration fee paid for, promoting our team through sharing our story on their Guest Blog and generous discounts on products for our most crucial biosensor experiments, Promega has been with us from the start of our project. We would not have been where we are today without your help. A huge thanks to the Promega Corporation from the CIDosis team! </div>

−
One of the reflections from the Danish Teams Meet-Up was the need to have a colour change that is colour blind-friendly. Using colours such as red or green might be confusing or misleading for this group, and therefore, would make the patch redundant. </div>

We had sent the survey out to people of all age groups, all genders and from different countries, so the target groups are not limited by borders. The CIDosis team consists of members from different nationalities – Denmark, Norway, Spain, Czech and India. The entire team celebrates diversity through dinners, movies and music. Our conversations often revolve around our culture, practices and commonalities.

GenScript was so nice to provide us with a generous sponsorship for crucial biomarkers from their websites that were swiftly delivered and immediately used for our biosensor assays. Without them, our biosensor assays would not have been nearly as complete as they turned out! </div>

About us

Comprising this team are nine ambitious students from various walks of life, who have come together to produce CIDosis - a non-invasive device that can help people with chronic inflammatory diseases visualize their level of inflammation.
