iGEM Calgary Details
iGEM, the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition, is an annual synthetic biology competition involving undergraduate university teams from around the world.Teams spend a year developing novel projects built around synthetic biology, then present their work to panels of judges at a series of competitions in the fall. Since starting in 2003, iGEM has expanded to encompass over 200 teams from the Americas, Europe, and Asia.With each team led by undergraduates, iGEM offers students the opportunity to attack practical issues using synthetic biology, thereby connecting the classroom, laboratory, and outside world. iGEM draws together students from diverse fields including biology, engineering, business, and computer science, giving them the foundations they need to change the world through research and industry.iGEM Calgary is a passionate team of undergraduates who want to better the world with synthetic biology.
