International Genetically Engineered Machine. Design. Network. Achieve
We're an interdisciplinary design team that uses synthetic biology to help solve real-world problems.
Want to Get Involved?
Our team is always looking for talented individuals looking to build their design skills.
What Do We Do?
We design a synthetic biology project from the ground up, including microbiology lab work, human practices, and web design, and present it to a board of experts in an international competition.
Where Do You Fit In?
Biology, chemistry, chem e, and any project management curriculums directly apply to the work we do. We also have lab, PR, and web committees. Majors we are currently seeking for the team include biology, chemical engineering, chemistry, computer science, IST, engineering management, and business.
What Will You Gain?
We do biology and we have freedom to pick any project we are interested in to pursue for competition. There's a lot of variety in our projects. Our web design is part of the competition. The competition is international so we get contact with teams from around the world.
