The announcement could be titled, "How to get a crash background in bioengineering."
IU's International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) team is recruiting students from all backgrounds to come together and synthesize new kinds of life. No background? No problem! We will show you everything you need to know to practice synthetic biology; just bring your excitement and great ideas.
Synthetic biology is a new field of biological research that combines science and engineering principles in order to design and build novel biological functions and systems. The iGEM Competition is focused on providing undergraduates with the tools to showcase their work. We will work through this spring and the summer in the lab, and travel to MIT in the fall to compete with over 100 schools from around the world, presenting our project.
Our next meeting will be a big brainstorming session:
