Team:Queens Canada/tour1

The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) team at Queen's University is called QGEM, composed of a group of undergraduate students from Kingston, Canada.

We spent the summer in the lab working on the nematode worm C. elegans to create a bioremediation toolkit.

Meet the team , inspiring Faculty Advisors, or check out photos from the summer!

Synthetic Biology & iGEM

The iGEM Competition was started in 2004 at MIT as a way to get students actively involved in the exciting field of synthetic biology. More than a hundred teams from around the world enter each year, making it one of the world's largest undergraduate conferences.

The synthetic biology discipline incorporates elements of engineering and biological principals to solve real-world problems.

Summer Timeline

Between digestions, ligations, transformations and extractions, our team made sure to have Theme Day Fridays, social outings and movie marathons. Our summer timeline gives a quick snapshot of our four months together.

For the more hardcore science, take a look at our daily lab workdaily lab work or comprehensive protocols.
