Episode Synopsis

Erik Hartman is an '18 ISEF alumni, he received the third award in translational medicine. Erik examined whether it was possible to coat a surgical suture material with a specific type of AMP and whether it gained an antibacterial effect. He's now studying biomedical engineering and biomedicine at Lund University. He's also engaged in the global competition iGEM and launched an international initiative as part of the iGEM outreach, SynthEthics. The goal is ensuring prosperity in a world of biotechnology. He was also working at Ungaforskare as part of the Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar and the Nobel festivities.

This week's stem shoutout goes to the Lund iGEM team. If you wanna read about their work, who they are compromised of and so forth, check out their blog and Synthetics as well. There is an online questionnaire you can fill out on some of the most crucial questions concerning synthetic biology. It only takes 5-10 minutes, but you are taking part in answering some of the questions the future may hold.
If you wanna go the extra mile and share your viewpoint, just reach out because there is a more detailed task for you. The links are included in the infobox:
