iGEM Competition
Our team is participating in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, which promotes research and scientific progress through Synthetic Biology, an interdisciplinary field that combines Biology and Engineering. The competition, originally conceived by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is organized annually by the non-profit iGEM Foundation, engaging over 7,000 students worldwide. The primary goal is to present innovative research projects focused on reengineering functional biological systems. This year's competition will be held in Paris.
