|---|---|---|
| Competition deliverables | We have delivered all official iGEM deliverables, including our wiki, presentation video, judging form, and judging session. | Deliverables |
| Project Attributions | We clearly described each team member’s contributions and collaborators. | Attributions Page |
| Project Description | Our project description outlines the overall concept of asthma, the current therapeutic technologies used, and its related adverse effects. As well as the potentiality of “PRESS”. | Description Page |
| Contribution | We contributed novel genetic parts (e.g., DUF4811–L7Ae fusion for vesicle loading, and the co-BERA RNA scaffold) as well as software tools for protein risk assessment, which can support future iGEM teams. | Contribution Page |

| Excellence in Modeling | Our in silico modeling pipeline embodies excellence through the seamless integration of advanced computational tools—such as Python-based ODE simulations, Monte Carlo parameter estimation, and multi-scale analysis software—ensuring both precision and biological relevance in therapeutic probiotic delivery. | Model Page |
| Sustainable Development Goal | From the start of our development stage, we went with a definite focus to ensure the sustainability of PRESS and its great impact on the world's future. We have addressed 8 SDGs, considering PRESS's long term impact on them and receiving feedback from various stakeholders. | SDGs Page |
| Education | We focused on vulnerable groups—workers exposed daily to hazards, hospital patients, children, and families—and created targeted materials like parent guides, storybooks, and everyday tips. Our activities were based on three core areas: simplifying synthetic biology, training basic skills, and raising awareness about asthma. Each of our activities was adapted to its intended group, from young children to the elderly. We used workshops, games, songs, comics, and interactive resources instead of lectures To make learning engaging. We also involved policymakers and showed them how synthetic biology could bring therapeutic solutions into the real world. We engaged more individuals on social media, multiple-language podcasts, and translated reports. Finally, we drew it all back to the Sustainable Development Goals, showing how our work was not just about education—how it fit into a bigger vision for health and environment. | Education Page |
