China Meetup

meetup

Chinese teams began to participate International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition from 2007, the number has increased to 20 from only 4 at the beginning. Considering that the new teams are lack of experience in the 2011 competition and a platform for communication and cooperation between teams is badly needed, a meeting for all Chinese iGEMers -- iGEM 2011 China Meetup -- was held at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) from July 29th to July 31th.

The theme of this conference is "iGEM -- the breeding ground for the next generation of synthetic biologists". During the conference, well-known experts were invited to promulgate their latest research findings and elucidate the development trend of synthetic biology, and there were also insightful students to make subjective reports and reviews. iGEM teams displayed the current progress of their projects, and shared their experiences with conference participants.

Prof. Xueming Zhao from Tianjin University, Prof. Michael Q. Zhang from CSHL & Tsinghua University and Prof. Jiarui Wu from SIBS & USTC were invited to give lectures. The conference was open to all undergraduates, graduate students and researchers who are interested in iGEM and synthetic biology. Participants interacted with each other and the lecturers during the conference. The conference is supported by School of Life Science, USTC and the Committee of Communist Youth League of China, USTC.
