iGEM

iGEM, the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition, is an annual global event where students from universities and colleges design and build innovative biological systems using synthetic biology. Participants develop projects that address real-world issues, such as health, environment, and sustainability, by programming living organisms like bacteria or yeast. The competition encourages collaboration, creativity, and responsible scientific practices, promoting the advancement of genetic engineering techniques. Ultimately, iGEM aims to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers to responsibly innovate solutions through biology.
