                                For its second year, <strong>the UPO-Sevilla team</strong> participates on the international Synthetic Biology competition iGEM. <strong>Synthetic biology</strong> is a new and exciting discipline of science that puts together computing, engineering and molecular biology with the goal of designing and constructing biological machines: living organisms with the ability to perform new and useful tasks. The iGEM contest is an initiative that hosts undergraduate student teams from all over the world to develop new biological designs, work on them over the summer and present them in the <strong>iGEM Jamborees</strong>.

                                UPO-Sevilla was <strong>the pioneer Andalusian team</strong> to participate in the iGEM competition last year. The UPO-Sevilla team is has grown from six students and two supervisors in 2010 to ten students and seven supervisors in 2011. This year's team hosts a mixture of computer science, engineering, biotechnology, genetics, physiology and microbiology students and professors. This multidisciplinary team is working hard on the <strong>Flashbacter</strong> project, aimed to develop biological machines able to store information, much like a computer's memory does.

Human Practice

iGEM is more than a scientific project! iGEM is a way to make that thousands of people around the world feel bearer of the Synthetic Biology spirit. We felt part of it soon this year and started to work to spread our knowledge on SB along our country and even more. With this aim we arranged a spreading program for High Schools (BSIES) where we discuss about ethics, we took part in scientific fairs to argue with families, and we organized the 2011 Workshop. Also we have inaugurated the first blog about Synthetic Biology in Spanish) (Tornillos y genes.) as a way to bring SB closer to non-English speakers. A result of this is our public outreach in the media.
