iGEM

About

The international Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition is the largest worldwide synthetic biology competition for collegiate students. The objective of the competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using DNA technologies. It aims to combine and create novel genetic parts, which can be incorporated in an organism, thereby equipping it with new functions. Each year, teams from universities and colleges all over the world work throughout the summer to produce their enhanced organism, created using synthetic biology. This year our work will be presented to the scientific community at the Giant Jamboree in Boston in November 2017.
