History
The MIT iGEM team is coming off its most successful year in program history where, in addition to fulfilling the requirements to receive a gold medal, the team earned the distinction of Best Manufacturing Project and also was awarded the iGEMers Prize (voted best project by other iGEM teams). Both the scope of possible projects and resources available to the MIT team was greatly expanded with the arrival of Professor Ron Weiss, who coached award-winning iGEM teams at Princeton since the beginning of the competition.
Along with Prof. Weiss, the 2010 team was under the leadership and aided by numerous professors and graduate instructors who will be returning this year to continue leading the program to success. As a team, we are proud of our continued success, our rich iGEM history, and the strong relationships we are able to build and maintain with many of the leading researchers in the field of synthetic biology.
