Human Practices

Human Practices is a procedure to ensure the responsibility and benevolence of our project. To achieve this, we first identified globally relevant topics and decided to work on antibiotics resistance by the means of phage therapy. Secondly, we brainstormed societal concerns that are linked to our project, whereas we identified <a class="a-link-neg-margin" href="#nav-clinical-application/" onClick="aaa('nav-clinical-application/');">clinical application </a>, <a class="a-link-neg-margin" href="#nav-patient-safety/" onClick="aaa('nav-patient-safety/');">patient safety </a>, <a class="a-link" href="#nav-biosafety/" onClick="aaa('nav-biosafety/');">biosafety </a> and <a class="a-link" href="#nav-regulatory-process/" onClick="aaa('nav-regulatory-process/');">regulatory process </a> as significant issues to consider, whereas the following questions arose among others:

  • How could our new method find an application in a clinical setting?
  • Is phage therapy safe for the patient and if not, what needs to be done to ensure its safety?
  • What happens if our newly created synthetic phages escape into the environment? Do they impose a danger on the ecosystem?
  • How is the use of phage therapy regulated today and what would be necessary to obtain a good regulatory framework in the future?


Next, we met with stakeholders from the clinic and experts in safety and regulations to discuss these questions and get some general <a class="a-link-neg-margin" href="#nav-project-feedback/" onClick="aaa('nav-project-feedback/');">feedback </a> to our project. Finally, we <a class="a-link" href="#nav-integrated-human-practices/" onClick="aaa('nav-integrated-human-practices/');">integrated </a> all our gained knowledge to improve the design of our project. Furthermore, we used our platform to <a class="a-link" href="#nav-public-engagement/" onClick="aaa('nav-public-engagement/');">inform </a> the public about phage therapy as well as synthetic biology in general and in return get some valuable feedback from society.
