Team of the Week

News

  • Forums & new frontpage design
    • We've made a couple of improvements to the iGEM websites. First up: Forums. Use them to solve your transformation problems, for iGEM banter, or just to trash talk the competition. Second: New iGEM 2007 wiki frontpage! You like? You liiike! Amongst much recategorization of content, we've added a couple of new areas, including a team of the week! Currently we're featuring Missouri Western, but your team should be next week!
  • TTT workshops have concluded
    • Three workshops, three continents. Results from the Teach the Teachers workshops are online, including pictures, video, schedules, and more. read more
  • SB 3.0
    • SB3.0, the third international conference on Synthetic Biology, directly proceeded the third TTT workshop. There were lots of great talks, including one by Hamilton and two! by 2006 iGEM teams! read more

The iGEM story

iGEM is the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition. Hundreds of undergraduates from all over the world annually spend their summer learning the principles of Synthetic Biology and then proving they work by designing and building novel biological machines (using a standardized kit of genetic building blocks), sharing their work with the community as they compete for awards and fame at the Jamboree, held the first weekend of November.

  • The students call the shots - not the professors or grad students.
  • They build cool stuff! And it works! Check out Eau d'Coli and the coliroid, not to mention the arsenic sensor
  • They are boot strapping synthetic biology! iGEM provides a unique way for undergraduates to invest the time, energy, and creativity to develop the field that other more traditional research structures cannot.
