  • Our team was set in February and we have been working since then. This is our first year in iGEM, and we are very happy to be involved in this organization. The first idea of iGEM team was suggested by undergraduate students, and then supported by our professors and graduate students in METU. There is no ongoing projects on Synthetic Biology in Turkey, and our first aim was to raise the awareness on this issue.
  • Because this will be our first experience to develop a project on our own with all its finacial and organizational aspects and as we are training ourselves in this new area that we haven't been taught before, we decided to take this first year to learn how things are done and to gain experience. All the team members were to be involved in other projects in different institutions for summer practice as required by our undergraduate curriculum, so we tried to work for our iGEM project before July and after September.
