Best Human Practice Advance
This has been the first presence of Trieste in iGEM and this meant quite a hard venture in building up a team, finding money, finding a hosting lab, designing and developing our project.
We students have made it all, obviously with the support of the University of Trieste but mostly with our passion and determination.Here in Trieste, for its history and location, we found an ideal place in which young students like us could undertake this innovative approach to research that iGEM represents.
We invested a great amount of energy on human practices because we aimed at creating the right environment to make iGEM a core activity among the first steps of the future researchers.
We decided to talk about iGEM and about our experiences as iGEM team through different channels and in different ways referring to a wide range of audience.
You can find a detailed description of UNITS_TRIESTE team human practices here!

IGEM more than a competition is a life experience; it involves you at all, sometimes it is hard sometimes funny but above all it is by far the best experience which a student could done during his undergraduate studies. The UNITS_TRIESTE Team is an “Handmade” team, no advisors working in synthetic biology field, no company linked to synthetic biology business only 6 students and their mighty wish to take their place in a worldwide acknowledged competition as IGEM is.

Synbiome is made of "undergraduate" thoughts and it has been realized by "undergraduate" hands.
As any researchers know three months are nothing, only 90 days tu build up a new, innovative and competitive project to face the world of synthetic biology.
We decided to do it as it must be do, no shortcuts: 6 month of preliminary work making reality the wish to partecipate at igem, learning about everything as biobricks, sponsors, registry, registration, human practice, tracks, jamboree, team and whatever else but mostly we thought about the project, tons of rough ideas falling down as bricks (Not yet so “Bio”J), looking for the best way to handle our first partecipation. At the end of june Synbiome was birth, son of all our minds and father of all our expectation.
'''Thanks to Synbiome we had the chance to involve scientists originally unrelated to the field of synthetic biology as our instructors. They believed so much our project that we’re not only working at Synbiome in a competitive optical but mostly looking forward to reach a publication at the end of the year.'''
These rows have been written only to give you all the feelings that this experience has meant for us, we really hope that you will enjoy Synbiome.
