iGEM
The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. Student teams are given a kit of biological parts at the beginning of the summer from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Working at their own schools over the summer, they use these parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells. This project design and competition format is an exceptionally motivating and effective teaching method.
Synthetic Biology
We are a group of individuals, groups and labs from various institutions who are committed to engineering biology in an open and ethical manner.
SynBio World
We are a group of synthetic biology students who strongly believe in the power of the web of data and of new communication technologies. We want to empower our research field with these new technologies to help people meet, share experiences, cooperate and in the end advance science.
Synthetic Biology Project
The Project aims to foster informed public and policy discourse concerning the advancement of synthetic biology – an emerging interdisciplinary field that uses advanced science and engineering to make or re-design living organisms, such as bacteria, so they can carry out specific functions.
