We call this “synthetic biology” Magnificent structures, visible from the lunar surface, have been built. Skies, that define the horizons, have been conquered. Distances, that separated races, have been shriveled. Computations, that took hours, have been eradicated. All this has been achieved through the acumen, knowledge and skill of engineering. And now, scientists are tapping into the vast power held in cells of biological organisms through this very tool of engineering. We call this novel and mighty science synthetic biology. This new field , synthetic biology ,is basically the genetic engineering of organisms but with new tools and techniques that makes it much easier and faster to genetically manipulate organisms. The essence of synthetic biology is to make the engineering of biological systems easier to do. It enables us to better understand nature and subsequently manipulate it to make the world a better place through better healthcare, greener environments and more efficient industries.

What is IGEM?

International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) in an annual undergraduate synthetic biology competition. It aims to get students from universities all around the world to come up with solutions to problems affecting today’s world through the use of synthetic biology. They design and build novel biological systems and operate them in living cells

With a myriad of magnificent teams that each stem from universities scattered well over the globe, IGEM is truly a world class competition

Team Nairobi

Team Nairobi is composed of undergraduates as well as faculty members of the university of Nairobi.

The 2011 University of Nairobi team is composed of

The undergrads

2 microbiology and biotechnology students

1 biology student

3 biochemistry students

1 human physiology student who is also a medicine student

1 medicine student who is also an anatomy graduate

The supervisors

3 faculty members of the University of Nairobi Chiromo Campus
