Personal note
Before I started working on iGEM, I had never heard of “Synthetic Biology”. I understood that we were going to make genetically modified organisms but did not see how the principles of engineering can be applicable. It is my privilege to be part of the iGEM experience, to witness the shift of biology from discovery science into applied science. iGEM has inspired me to continue working in the field of synthetic biology- my final year project will involve more BioBricking. I am looking forward to the day when BioBricking and assembly of genetic networks will be as easy as building a computer in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells - think artificial tissue interfaces!
