iGEM student competition

 

The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. Student teams are given a kit of biological parts at the beginning of the summer from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Working at their own schools over the summer, they use these parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells. This project design and competition format is an exceptionally motivating and effective teaching method.

 

In November 2012 a Groningen iGEM team will join the competition again.

 

• The 2^nd European Jamboree will take place at VU Amsterdam on October 5^th-7^th, 2012.
• The iGEM competition 2012 will take place from November 2^nd till November 5^th, 2012.
