What is IGEM?

The international Genetically Engineered Machine competition is designed to encourage undergraduates to work motivated on a project of their own in the field of synthetic biology.

The iGEM competition started in 2003 at the MIT and grew steadily in size with the years. Every university can register a team. Even collaborations of schools are allowed participate.

Goal of the project is to build new biological systems and to operate them in a living cell. Starting point for every team is a kit of biological parts.

These biological systems are presented at the Jamboree at the MIT where we give a 20 min presentation and present a poster.

Freedom with what kind of project to do is essential. The students should hold most of the responsibility in that whereas the supervisor advise and guide. Therefore the iGEM competition is divided into different tracks going from environment, food energy, experimental measurement, health and medicine, human practice advance to software tool.

This diversity implies that teams should be multidisciplinary
