Achievements



  • We lived a great human experience, met new friends and had fun!!


  • We acquired new knowledge and competencies dealing with scientific and logistic issues.


  • We submitted 2 documented parts to the registry and showed that they work as expected.


  • We characterized a pre-existing part.


  • We collaborated with another iGEM team : TU Delft.


  • We presented our project and Synthetic Biology in many ways : in different websites,
    in newspapers, on the radio, on TV, … and even in music ; in order to inform a public
    as varied as possible.



  • We get our project close to reality meeting experts to consider industrialization.


  • We explored safety implications of the project as a whole.
